One other possibility. A few years ago a guy in Texas bought a car with intermix and it turned out to be a failed internal freeze plug. It was just laying in the bottom of the pan as I recall. He dismantled the motor, did some thorough cleaning, minor preventative work, replaced the freeze plug and reassembled. I think she is still running fine today.

Last year in March you UK guys had an epic cold snap that might have pushed out a freeze plug.
