About 2/3 to 3/4 down on this web page there are pictures showing the oil passage to the valve train.

The oil does go up through the slop in that head bolt, so you want to be careful not to plug off the oil to the valves, with a bunch of thread sealer. You will note that there is a water passage on the other side of the head bolt that the oil passage uses. I would have to see what the sleeve looks like to say if the low sleeve is causing the problem or not. There could be a crack in the block that is allowing oil to get into the coolant. Anyway I suspect these four oil passages to the heads are the most likely place for this to happen.
