Default Oil getting into the antifreeze reservoir

At the beginning of the year I had the motor replaced in my 2004 AudiA41.8T.
2 months after having my vehicle back it started getting oil in the coolant. I returned my car to the shop. He replaced the oil cooler.
3 months later and I had the same problemn
He asked if I was driving my car like a race car (revving the engine) because that's the only thing that would cause this problem.
I picked up my vehicle recently by the time I got home I was have the same problem.....I feel like im being bamboozled I put alot of money in the car. Its under warranty for 2 more years so if something is malfunctioning or not functioning why not replace it. Is there anything that I can be doing to this car to cause these problems?????

Normally it's the oil cooler where coolant and oil can mix but if it's not the oil cooler on a 1.8T, the only other place where this can happen is the head gasket (sandwiched between the valve head and the engine/cylinder block). That gasket may be old and leaking which would allow oil and coolant to mix.

Is there anything that I could be doing to cause the oil cooler to go out quickly, as far as driving and handling
