How hosed am I? :(
Well, the problem in my previous thread went away! No more power steering noise! 
So I took it out for a test drive....
and the engine overheated...
and after it cooled down, there was oil floating on the coolant. :'(
I'm pretty sure that means my head is cooked, but I'm REALLY hoping there is another answer that won't total my Jeep.

There aren't many other explanations for contaminated oil/coolant.

Old fart with a wrench
Are you sure it's not transmission fluid? It would probably be pink and foamy.
