89 s5 oil or coolant leak

Alright so it's been a lil while with this problem haven't gotten around to it so here it goes I know I have a blown water seal. Simply because I get the white smoke of death on every start up. I've managed to extend its life with some aluma-seal I know shame on me.... Well since it had such problem I had decided to drain my coolant every time I put my fc away today I felt the need of a lil rotary drive when I had added coolant I notice that oil was being mixed. When looking at the coolant you could notice that there was traces of oil in the rad inlet didn't want to pay anymore attention I topped her off and went on my way came back home drained again and I could notice the considerable amount of oil with the coolant color change I decided to touch the coolant and as I suspected a notice able amount of oil was in there.

My question is before I undertake a rebuild wat could I be looking at I terms of what kind of damage am looking at engine keeps running except for the fact that It's running like crap rough idle my guess the tps has not been adjusted along with the engine timming (been on my list just haven't had time correct ) yet keeps brapping when ever I need her
