As above, a garage is probably a good idea.

Well, unless some has been playing pranks and connected your oil lines to your coolant lines then the most likely culprit would be a head gasket surely?

It won't mean it is scrap if you love it, but it will cost a few quid to fix if it is the head gasket.

I got a 4.6 V8's head gaskets done for £950 including skimming. But that is very cheap.

You can remove the head (and ancillaries to get to it), fit a gasket, re-fit the head (all of this being the absolute minimum of course), but you don't know what else it could be......?

Its a longshot but didn't some mercs have combined coolant radiators and oil coolers? It might have only been some of the fast models, hence the oil cooler.

Well it could be a cracked block but gaskets are more common.

If it's just a bit of yoghurt in the filler cap, it might just be condensation. A long drive and a few burst of high revs should sort that out.
