Start tearing it down. Hopefully it's just a head gasket.

Here is one from the night I started it up. Open DP and had a hole in it too from where I cut the recirc out and hadn't patched it yet. PCV not complete either.

Check the oil cooler first, i've replaced them for the same leak. Oil will go into the coolant but no coolant in the oil, too much pressure difference.

hey guys need some help. I've been turbo swapped for couple months now and conservatively tuned as for now. I'm having an issue with P2101 code that comes on every time I drive my car. I can feel the car's throttle body not wanting to open all the way or stutters to go if I give it 1/3 throttle gas then the cel comes on. Then once I shift everything is fine and car runs fine and I turn the code off, just getting annoying now. I'm stumped can't find anything on topic. So does it have to deal with my tune or what? need some help please. FYI I do have the homemade cut out rubber seal on my throttle body and not a real metal gasket, which I'm getting switched out shortly.
