The coolant is mixing with the oil. What needs replaced?

If you have coolant in oil, it is either the headgasket or intake manifold gasket.

Perform a compression test to check the headgasket.

Get this repaired ASAP and do not drive the car, coolant in oil will strip the oil film off the main bearings and can cause severe engine damage.
