Coolant flows through the oil cooler and is separated from the oil by a diaphragm. The oil filter is screwed onto the cooler. It's a pretty easy swap.

Sounds like a head gasket. Did it ever overheat? A compression check will tell you if your not sure. A cheap diagnosis rather than guessing and buying things you may not need.
