[s-cars] Coolant in the oil sump ????

I have a 3B motor in a Euro S2.

I have been losing coolant at the rate of 1 liter every 4 or 5 days.
In other words pretty fast. I can find no external signs of leakage.

I just checked my oil level and I am 3 or 4 liters over full. I know
that I have not put in that much oil inadvertantly. No way.

Can these two facts be related? Can I be having a massive coolant leak
that is collecting in the sump? Has this ever happened to anyone?
Wouldn't the oil be frothy when I look into the cam cover? I am going
to tap off some oil from the sump tomorrow just to check. The Fumoto
valve sure makes that convenient.
