I found out with my old 94 Ranger 2.3L that the oil breather does not have a filter element, which causes oil to "naturally" (as Ford puts it) accumulate in the throttle body and air intake hose. You can get an inline breather element at any parts store for a few bucks and install it on the breather line without harming anything, and this will stop. Cheers.
Check your oil cooler lines, they have possibly leaked into the radiator and got into the coolant. I would check the flanges of the cooler lines that go into the radiator. If you don't find a leak anywhere then your head gasket is blown and you'll eventually see water in your oil. A leak down test will confirm the status of your head gasket.
