1991 460 oil in radiator

Finally have gotten this beast started.
After a year of piecing it back together.

But now I see oil in radiator. The engine has sat for 4 years and I do not have the history prior. The plugs are all clear of water and the oil is nice and clear. So it's appears that it is only going oil into water and not the other way around. I have no looked to see if it has a factory cooler but is there a specific area of this engine that is prone to doing this?

Update.

Ok pulled the oil cooler. Cannot tell if it is leaking. I will take it to a shop and see if they can pressure test it.

Also read that there is a common problem with the lower intake manifolds. I am trying to figure how oil would get into the water at the intake. Does anyone know of this?
