Exclamation 99 Accord EX Engine Help

I have a 99 Accord Ex 4 cylinder vtec automatic. Went to check radiator to check antifreeze level and found oil. Somehow/somewhere my oil and antifreeze are mixing. Its in my radiator and overflow. First thought was head gaskett but usually its antifreeze in your oil not other way around. Stripped the engine down to the block and the head. Seal looks fine and no visible cracks from top view. Anyone know of this problem and also I know that these blocks are known to crack. Gaskett just get old after 170,000 miles? Crack in block? Or something else? Thank you for all inquiries and help.
