I would have to say you have a crack somewhere in the engine block where there is high pressure oil. It has to be getting through somewhere where the oil pressure is greater than the cooling system pressure.

You're probably gunna have to start tearing into the engine to figure this out.

The guys at my dealer decided to not have it diagnoses. But my mechanic and I spoke about this... and he was 99% positive of the block being cracked somewhere.
that's what is leading me to the oil cooler...

Well he pretty much crapped his pants when i told him that i put the headlights in. Then he kept insisting that i must of put something in there when i did the headlights. I was like what does the headlights have to do with the coolant system?!!!? So I had them warranty it after arguing with them forever that I never put anything in there...

Then I got a recall about the cusion in the headliner or whatever. I tried setting up a appointment to get it done, and the guy told me the parts were on order and to wait a few weeks to a month to get it done so they get some practice in with taking the headliner out and putting it back in.... and i was like ARE U KIDDING ME? Im glad the guy was honest but a headliner isnt that hard and i will make sure i dont go back there to get any work done..

later
Holy **** dude, find a new dealer lol

Definitely start there. If it has an oil cooler that's the most likely cause.

p.s. The car at my shop the other day did NOT have an oil cooler. Thus it had to be inside the block somewhere.
