Besides the head, are there any other places on a 1.9 where oil and water
can meet?

Just for better understanding of the engine .... The cylinders sit within a
water jacket (aquarium) and fit into the case at their bases.  There is an
O-Ring at the base of each cylinder where they fit into the case that keeps
water and oil from mixing.  I've never heard of anyone having problems in
this area, though.
