Are you automatic or manual. If your an auto, I would suspect the cooler leaking into the radiator.

Any coolant in the oil? After the engine stops hot, there is no pressure in the oil orifice, but 13-15psi in the cooling system, that will transfer coolant into the oil.

Are you running a swap/engine with the factory donut oil cooler? (GSR/Type R's have these) Overtightening a filter can crush the separator plates in the cooler, resulting in a oil/coolant mix.
