The car doesn’t have a blown head gasket because white smoke should be coming out the exhaust and it’s not. There is no water in the oil but there is oil in the coolant.

Hi,

I hate to say it, but either you have a bad head gasket or a crack in one of the engine components. What can happen is the gasket can fail between an oil and water passage. The result can be what you said. It doesn't have to go into the oil or cylinder causing smoke.

Here is a link that explains how to test a head gasket. Do this and let me know what you find.
