... the oil/coolant mix is boiling....

Well that pretty much sums it up.

Sounds like a headgasket, warped head, or crushed oil cooler. I would normally suggest starting with a compression test, but at this point I don't think I'd want to warm the car up for it.

Do a cold leak-down test and see if you have air in the coolant or other symptoms. Sounds like it is time to pull the head though. And if coolant is getting into the oil, you may have some lower engine issues as well.

Sounds like a blown headgasket. Do a compression test to confirm.

Sounds like a headgasket. Fairly easy fix

has the head been recently off? If so was it surfaced? and how?

if you have oil in the coolent, that means you have high pressure oil getting into the low pressure coolent

i do not believe heads been off for a while, bought the car a few months ago and got it tagged just a month ago, so everything thats happenin is new to me, and the previous owner was some redneck know nothing about cars dude. so now im left with guessing and checking what it could be. thanks for the help! im bringing it into my buddies shop today to confirm the hopefully busted head gasket. ill update!
