Either you have a cracked block and a slipped linner or the block is warped on the water port

but the water jacket isn't near the oil way so how is the water getting in to the sump?

Front edge of the head is the water port and the oil port is above coolant can track up
Other option is it is running down the linner into the sump

It is never a case of scrapping it it can be fixed I would strip it out and have the block pressure tested first to confirm

I don’t like scraping good cars and don’t but this one is a little tatty
The suspension stays in the up position when driving and it hasn’t been looked after
That is why I throat about breaking her
