The coolant is mixing with the engine oil even after the engine head gasket is changed what might be the problem?

Now you have a problem. Did you check the head for cracks? Is it the same head? Is the block cracked? Do you have any white smoke at the exhaust? Try a pressure check on the cooling system to try and see where the damage is. Did the engine overheat?

1999 silverado overheating coolant in oil is this most likely blown head gasket or cracked head?
Neither 1, It is a common problem with that engine for the intake gasket to leak engine coolant into the engine lifter gallery / into engine oil. Replace intake manifold gasket and change oil and FILTER a couple of times. A head gasket or cracked head will not allow engine coolant to get into the oil. If you got or over HEATED the engine like real hot then you may have blown are cracked a head but I doute it. Not common, Replace intake gasket and you'll see that the engine will be okay more then likely.

Why does Mercedes 190e heat up when idle but when driven engine cools and no longer blows warm air in winter?
I have a 1991 190e 4 cylinder with the same problem - in cold weather the engine does not warm up. I know that I have a head gasket leak due to oil in coolant. I changed the thermostat but no improvement. I suspect the head gasket leak somehow affects the working of the thermostat or circulation of the coolant.
