There was a post about "some" 996 models had problems with oil and anti-freeze mixing together???

A. Is this true?
B. If so, does it affect 02 MY?
TIA

Sounds like a blown head gasket problem. May have occured on early build 99's but I haven't heard much about it lately. I've had an oil leak problem and a coolant overflow problem (both fixed under TSBs) but no problems with antifreeze in my oil.
