I have 97 T-bird with oil in the coolant system. Would the most logical
source be a blown head gasket or just an in-take leak?

With me being a complete novice at this, where on this particular model is the oil cooler located? I do not see any additional lines going to the radiator outside of the xmsn lines. There doesn't appear to be stand alone cooler core mounted near the radiator.

The bulk of my work is on SuperDuty trucks... you'll have to pardon any errors or omissions on my part.... The common conception for an oil cooler would be oil lines going to the radiator or a stand alone cooler in front of the radiator... In the case of the modular engines (such as your 4.6), the oil cooler is located where the oil filter attaches... To be sure, you should see two coolant lines going to the base of the filter. These will be roughly the same size as the heater hoses..
