Get oil pressure resolved before going any further...
Tappet noise on startup is normal for a car that has been sitting.
Rule of thumb: Oil in coolant is from a bad oil cooler seal. Coolant in oil is from a bad head gasket.

Yes, mahle oc 142 all 3 times.
I figured the oil pressure thing was only because of a wonky sensor, the dipstick looked ok, if not a little bit higher.
And the car hasn't been sitting that long, this happened recently so I believe the tapping sound may just be from low oil.
What can I do about corroded wires? Not even sure how to start
Oil is in coolant tank (....right?) so I'll order the oil cooler seals. What about oil in spark plug wells?
