You can blow an HG without the coolant contaminating the oil... Or it can leak just enough into the oil passages when it just starts going that it's not visually apparent except under certain circumstances. Check the drained oil for separated coolant floating on top. Also check the rad cap both when the car is completely cold and when completely warm.

I would be equally concerned about the oil leak.
