Damn! That's bad... This is the oil!?

I fail to see how that's possible without the coolant and oil both contaminating each other to a very severe (engine destroying) degree.

Hey, I found a picture of my accordion hose:

Heh, no, mines not that bad, though the crack is longer. That dealership out of texas has them for $46. Seems reasonable.

Well, there's no coolant in the oil, and no oil in the coolant, so it's entirely possible that it's leaking from somewhere else and just travelling down the seam between the head gasket and the block?

Check for oil in and around the spark plug galley... the most common oil leak is from old valve cover seals and the screws backing out.
