Default Oil in water (and water in oil)

Hello, I am new in this forum, my name is Daniel and I am from Argentina. I own a 1994 850 Turbo.
My problem is that motor is overheating and I find water in oil (and oil in water).
If we exclude cylinder head gasket (already replaced), which are other possible ways of connections between oil and water?.
I hope somebody can enlight me. Thanks in advance.

Hello, Daniel.

I am also from Argentina (Pilar, Buenos Aires). I am just wondering who changed your head gasket? Was it an official Volvo rapership?

Would a leaky water pump have that side effect? What about the oil radiator?

Regards

I was thinking radiator also, if the head gasket was done right.

But if it overheated to many times after the headgasket only replacing the bad radiator isn't going to fix the problem. Most likely the new headgasket is bad already.
