In rough shape.
I did use a Cooling System Pressure tester on the system. He has two coolant leaks. One around the water pump and one dripping inside the crankcase from around pistons #5 and #6. There is the source of the oil contamination problem.
So, looks like either a bad head gasket, cracked head, or cracked block....or any combination of the afore mentioned. I'll be doing a compression test next to try and narrow it down to the specific head.
