Virginia, Northern Neck | Yes, this: "It’s worth something knowing where the leakage is before you tear it apart."
The most important advice I ever got from my diesel mentor was to figure out what is wrong before you tear an engine apart.
If you cannot diagnose the problem before you disassemble an engine, you are for sure going to lose money and time performing the engine repair.
After you disassemble an engine, you are responsible for making it right.
In this case, as others have said, it is the oil cooler that failed, not the engine.
You can run a long time with oil in the coolant.
You cannot run very long with coolant in the oil.
