Sounds like a blown head gasket, or possibly a warped/cracked head.
More often than not when you get oil in the antifreeze and vice-versa, it
is a head gasket issue. I'd check for antifreeze in the oil, document this
some way or other, and then you have a couple of options. Either bring it
back to the guy, or hope its a head gasket, which you would replace anyway
if you were to tear it down...
