Sounds like a head gasket, cracked cylinder head or an internal crack in 
the block. Possibly incorrectly torqued down head so start re-torquing 
may help but I am not very optimistic.

The blocks have areas with less metal between oil and coolant passages 
that are known to rust through. I don't know how much material, if any, 
'hot-tanking' removes, but there is likely some variance in the castings 
to begin with.
