Coolant in oil but nowhere else

What would cause coolant in the oil but not the reverse? Also there does not seem to be a signifigant amount of coolant in the cylinders if any at all.

If it were a head gasket problem, it would depend on what the leaking part of the gasket was adjacent to. It could leak into the cylinder(s) or just into the lifter valley or whatever. I am assuming you don't have a factory oil cooler.

I had one, I took it off in hopes that it was the problem. I have also allready replaced one of the head gaskets(should have done both at the same time). So I guess I am looking at the other headgasket or a crack in the heads or block.
