i have seen quite a few intermix issues , i think you will be okay . from my experience the coolant does not go into the oil, the oil goes into the coolant.. the oil pressure is far higher and forces its way into the crack and into the cooling jackets of the head.

I think you will be okay

good news! It's oil smoke for sure and it looks like my flashing coolant light the day before was just coincidence and likely evaporation. just waiting on the part to come in now.

coolant is a closed system , nothing should evaporate.. keep an eye on it .
