Coolant level is stable and uncontaminated, yet oil is showing signs of coolant contamination. I'd suppose it only takes a smidgen of coolant to create the oil consistency you speak of, so perhaps the "stable" level you speak of is misleading.
With oil pressure being far greater than cooling system pressure, I would have to assume the headgasket is compromised between a cooling passage and an oil RETURN passage. Upon removal of a headgasket, you may even find a bit of corrosion that has created a "tunnel" through which coolant can weep into the oil supply.
Has the engine enjoyed a history of on schedule flushing and replenishment of coolant?
