Our cars come equipped with a oil cooler/warmer, which is located where your oil filter is installed. Hopefully one of those lines are leaking, or the adapter itself.
If the coolant was in your oil, you would be able to tell right away, unless your running the Evans NPG.

If you bypass it, and add an external oil cooler I guess that would be ok, but, you still would not be warming up the oil as quickly as it used to. So its a trade off.

I looked at the exploded diagram in the service manual CD, I don't see any reference to the weep hole but I'm sure it's there for a reason. If it were me I'd just pull the oil cooler out and look at it, or replace it. The cooling water lines can just be pinched to hold the cooling water remove filter then the threaded part that the filter screws onto unscrews from the lower pan and releases the oil cooler.
There is an o-ring in there that seals oil in so if it were me I'd have a new cooler and o-ring in hand prior to starting. I think you may have damaged the cooler by over tightening the oil filter.
Good luck, looks like an easy fix...

there has been debate over the usefullness of the stock oil warmer/cooler...I think Nissan pretty much ended the debate when they eliminated it on the HR version of the VQ.

I removed mine and have had no troubles.
