2001 996 antifreeze in oil HELP

just picked up this car 2001 carerra 4 3.4 eng
idles ok , found antifreeze in oil, press. tested ok when cold, overheats when idling for a bit and with the press tester conn. builds up high press . run smooth but can smell sweet exhaust and is visible. compression good on all cyl. pressure tested all cyl with plugs removed and not leaks holds press.
small drops of antifreeze visable on exhaust ports of cyl. #1and cyl. #5
if this is a head gasket issue can it leak over to booth cyl 1 & 4
i am aware of the listed oil cooler issues but that would put oil into the anti

thanks in advance for all replies

No need to post this three times............

These engines were prone to crack cylinder heads and walls, particularly if overheated. In all the years I have been working on them, I have never seen or heard of an M96 engine blowing a head gasket. And before you totally discount the oil cooler, pull it and pressure test it; if it passes, drop the engine and start looking...........
