I am truly sorry :-(

From my limited knowledge of these types of things, if there is a crack in
the head, then the oil and coolant can indeed mix, in both directions.

There may however be another explanation, so don't panic just yet... wait
for the others to reply who deal with this stuff on a daily basis.

Good Luck!
