the cups will hairline crack and i dont think a standard cooling system presure test will show the leak if it is a cup, the crack will swell with heat , with that mileage i still think its possible to have a decavitation situation here as well

I've had my oil cooler rust out before. The coolant disappeared into the oil, not the other way around. I just kept adding coolant over and over (slowly). So I don't think it's your oil cooler. What's interesting is that there is oil in your cylinders.
