Okay, so I tested my oil today after several red flags and found there is a lot of coolant in my oil. My reservoir is very low and the oil pulled from the catch can is very watery. The car dyno'd at 403rwhp in this same condition, so I'm wondering if it could be anything besides the heads? The car has power still and does not ever overheat. Could is be a small crack? Need opinions, don't want to deal with heads. I'll probably end up selling it, if so. Any help is appreciated.

Other possibilities besides the heads?

Sorry to hear man, the other possibility can be the oil cooler where your oil filter mounts to. They have O rings in them and have been known to fail and allow coolant to enter the oil passages. Try a compression test and leakdown test, these will start pointing you in the correct direction. GL

Just in catch can?

Have you drained oil yet to look..
