Waterboxer head gasket do not separate coolant and oil. Loose/broken
studs may allow coolant into the oil but oil going into the coolant is
usually the oil cooler. Of course the next question would be why did it
fail?

I think you are in for a top job on the engine, if it
is like the regular water cooled engines, it means the
head gasket is blown, I only have air cooled engines
so the water cooled guy's will have to verify this..
Good luck with it.  Phil
