NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I dunno how many times I need to explain this.
Oil in the coolant does not mean head gasket. Never has, never will. No no no no no.
Say it with me: Oil in coolant is a leaking oil cooler. Coolant in the oil can be many many things, with the head gasket being low on the list.
Coolant in the cylinder is a head gasket.

Just a quick comment here. When I recently swapped the motor in my B5, the oil cooler was NASTY!!
It was about as crusty and plugged up as something can get. The car had just shy of 90,000 miles on it. Start with the oil cooler, it's an easy swap.
I also agree with Unpimp Ze Auto.

2012 Audi A8L 4.2 V8 hello
Hello
my name is Harry I have a 2012 Audi A8L 4.2 V8
i have Coolent in my Engine oil but no oil in the cooling system. I came to find out my engine oils filters housing gaskets bad and also coolant pipe by the back the fire wall area. Well long story short I changed the pipe and Seals and after putting everything back together added some Coolant I drained the old oil (I cheched it was clean no coolant at all).the made sure no leaks and that all was good
Before I start the car but noticed the coolant tank a little low and I started adding cool but I could hear coolant leaking into the engine because the oil cap was still open. I opened the engine oil drain plug
and 1st thing I got coming out is clean water that finished then clean oil. I did not the car I took everything back off to make sure i didn’t install anything incorrectly and Aldo replaced the oil cooler seal already this time around... my question is is there maybe some hose I could have connected incorrectly or I missed something or if you can give me some ideas where the coolant can possibly enter the engine oil from.again thank you for your help
