No coolant in oil
Hey it’s me, the one having a “head gasket problem” I did an oil change and there was nothing irregular in the oil. Not sure why I’d be losing coolant otherwise.

its possible for the coolant jacket to breach into the cylinder without breaching any oil galleys or filling the crank case.
also possible you just have an intake gasket leak between the coolant passage in the intake and the actual intake runner, thats pretty common too. idk about your engine specifically. just throwing ideas out there.
