Hey Johnarentz,
I dunno if there are any welsh plugs in EA82 heads, but i'll have a look for you at the next chance i have, as i've got a set kickn around in the shed. I don't see how oil would be getting in the coolant, unless you've got a cracked head between the water/oil jackets, an old 'o' ring that needs replacing or an oddly blown head gasket (blown between jackets, not jacket to cylinder...).
With a blown head gasket into the cylinder, you maynot get any bubbles showing from the radiator, but that said, once the engine is allowed to cool down and air in the cylinder shirinks, it can suck water into the cylinder. I don't know if this won't show up in the oil, my experience has been that it usully will show up in the oil.
Hope this helps.
