no it wont leak antifreeze into the oil

Possibly you have dropped a valve? and it busted a piston or the cylinder wall and that could cause antifreeze to enter the oil. Happen to me once. Found out after I pulled the valve cover and see the rocker arm setting sideways. then i pulled the head and there was part of the valve stuck n the piston and 3 cracks in the cylinder walls. I didnt think I dropped a valve cause the valve stem was still jammed in the head.

Are you asking if it will mix if it possibly happens, or are you asking this because you have them mixing?

The rockers come off on the 4.6's all the time. Trucks and cars. They make a kit for a clip to put on it. But usually if you wind these things up to high rpms you will drop a rocker. But other times it just happens.

So either it was something that happened or you have a problem with that cylinder. One of mine popped off....if you search for a post from me about "my lovely 98 gt" you will see i took pics of it and put it back on and drove away with no further problems.

Could be a cracked head. But that would mean you have piston/valve problems. But no, if the rocker comes off and you have coolant somethings wrong.
