Oil in cooling water
#5
And, yeah, like Joe says, that flat steel plate behind the water pump always gets pitted, and if rotted through will probably pee water into the oil, and possibly some oil into the water.

Well, I have no personal experience with 330s, but depending on whether your engine is high or low compression, I would expect somewhere in the 120 to 170 psi range.
The important thing is not the pressure, but the variation.
If all of your cylinders are between 155 and 165 psi, but two of them, right next to each other, are 70 psi, then you can bet that the head gasket is leaking between those two cylinders.

Most likely trans cooler line in radiator. Can be tested if you are handy, or remove radiator and have a radiator shop test it. Or if you are not concerned with originality, remove lines and install a separate cooler, flush radiator and drive.
Most times oil in coolant has to come from a place where oil leaks under pressure that overcomes coolant pressure.

transmission lines that run to your radiator for cooling are leaking inside your radiator and mixing with your antifreeze.
