This is the classic sign of a head gasket dude... you have EVERY symptom.

except for this
I pulled out the spark plugs one by one and found no coolant or oil in the compression chamber
thats the only reason i would say oil cooler over head gasket.

ill have to pull them again and check it out today i guess.
i mean its completely feasible that i blew a part of the gasket between oil and coolant but it didnt break into a combustion chamber right?
i did get that Cyl 2 misfire code, ill pull that one again and see if anything built up overnight.
also, ill start it up and see if it does the 'glug glug' startup, which is what it was doing the night and morning of the big meltdown, but hasnt done again.
it was a rough startup that sounded like the pistons were having some trouble digesting some foreign fluid.
