It can get in through the timing cover. That does car does not have a "timing belt" cover, but it has a "timing chain cover."

Need more info. Year, engine size and what it is in so I can answer your question correctly. You will have to ask your question again with this information and your problem. Failed oil cooler, headgasket, cracked head, etc.

Can be a hole in the radiator or a problem with one or more of the hoses. A mechanic can run a pressure test to see where the problem(s) are located at.

Although some intake manifolds do have coolant running through them, none have oil in them. The most common reasons coolant would end up in your oil reservoir ( pan ) is a blown head gasket or a cracked head.
Why does the 2000 Nissan Altima go through coolant?
You should able to tell if it's leaking so I assume that you are not seeing any coolant where you park so it's a good chance you got a blown head gasket and the coolant is leaking in your cylinders and being burned off or leaking into your oil. Check your oil after running and if it is foamy it has coolant in it.
