Default Oil in coolant but car sounds and runs fine
Before i jump to conclusions, is coolant in my engine oil a sure sign of a blown head gasket or is it possible that it’s something less serious? Could having the coolant hoses incorrectly routed have something to do with it? Or the intake manifold gasket? There’s a pretty good amount of coolant in the oil

Have you checked your oil level?

Yes it is a sure sign of leaking head gasket

could also be a crack, check for straightness and have it pressure tested if its straight
