Emergency

Just be ready for fluids to come out. Make sure to flush all that gunk out of the cooling system. You can put some degreaser and water, or soap and water, in it and let it sit for a while to break up the oil, then run water through it before adding coolant to it.

Same problem happened to me a few years ago and the oil cooler I completely agree and is less time consuming/ money wise to fix. Replace all the O-rings/rubber gaskets on the oil cooler. I spent maybe $16 and fixed the problem. They get hard and crusty after 20 years. If that doesn't fix the problem then it is your head gasket.
My clutch started slipping all of a sudden and a funky antifreeze/burning oil smell rose and that is when I checked the coffee colored oil and knew something was wrong. Luckily someone on this forum told me to check the oil cooler first and they were right.
