dude, you don't need to torque your VC bolts down, just make em nice and tight, a 3/8 ratchet is fine! also, if you have coolant in your oil, or visa-versa, get ready to replace your headgasket, cause that's most definately where your oil is going...just watch your temp! and don't beat on it. if you keep it low RPM's you might be able to make it last longer. go have a radiator/coolant system pressure test, and/or compression test (dry will be fine). it could just be your rings are leaking and oil could be getting into the cylinders. in order to find that out, have a leakdown test done or a wet compression test done right after a dry one. and yes, i would give it immediate attention. BTW, unless you are boosting or squeezing, stock headgaskets are way more than enough unless you overheat it.
