Default coolant in oil, whats wrong?

I am new to the DS650 family and now I have Coolant in my oil, and i'm trying to determine if i have bad seals in my water pump or bad head gasket. Is there a way to rule out either the head gasket or water pump without major de-construction. Im not burning the coolant, its just going into the oil. Any constructive feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!

leaking water pump seals are pretty common on the DS650, I had the same problem when i owned mine, since its not burning any coolant or misfiring from burning coolant i would suggest that you water pump seals have went south

under your water pump there is a weep hole make sure it is open and if it is the water pump it should drip on the floor
