The oil cooler that is part of the oil filter housing has feed and return water hoses on it, I wonder if the oil is getting into the cooling system there. The oil pressure is greater than the pressure in the cooling system so even a tiny pin hole caused by corrossion would let oil into the cooling system.
Just my thoughts on the problem.
