I believe that to really pin down the problem, a dye can be used with the cooling system pressure test and maybe also with the compression test. Your tech will know. But oil in the coolant is pretty sure sign of headgasket or god forbid, a cracked head or block. If the car is warranteed, why did they not say they would just fix the oil in the coolant problem regardless of cause?
Headgasket failure is so common that these guys must know that the car probably has a bad gasket and some head/block pitting. So no matter what evidence you have, they may stonewall. That points to eventual small claims court where the compression/cooling pressure tests and ultmately the bad gasket itself will provide solid evidence. Then they have a judgment and you try to collect. What a pain.
