Coolant in the oil???
So I thought I had a blown head gasket but when I check the compression on each cylinder all of them were about 140psi so I am guessing it is not the head gasket that is causing lots of coolant to get into the oil. Not sure what else it could be any ideas??

huh, why didn't I think of that. Sure beats having to replace the head gaskets.

It could still be a head gasket even if you have good compression.
Cooling system pressure into oil drainback passage between head and block.

Could it come form the front cover as well? is there a way another way to test for a blow head gasket other than a compression test?

Yes, it could be from the front cover. That's not very common, though.
There are a couple of tests you can do to narrow it down. Use a cooling system test kit to check for pressure changes. Autozone will loan you the kit for free.
Also, you can buy a coolant test kit that checks the coolant for by products of combustion.

Or use pressurized air in cooling system.
Hopefully intake gasket.
Worst scenario a cracked cylindr...
