I hope its not a real well known problem! No coolant in oil, no oil in coolant. The engine will start and run for 10 minutes or so and I can see the coolant spraying out as the engine warms up. The exhaust is normal. I just aquired this car knowing it had this problem. I was told the engine was run hot for a "short " way.
The well known problem thing was heard through a friend of a friend..............thats why I'm trying this forum to get good info. I have documentation that the work was done, as in thermostat ect....
Any help would be great!

You might want to try taking your valve cover off and see if you have a broken head bolt... if not, it's your gasket. Get a pressure check done, and that should do it. An additive isn't the answer... additives usually only fill cracks in aluminum rads... not in gaskets, but you might be lucky. There are a few coolant "stop-leak" products available, but when you're driving in a Colorado snow storm, it'll be in the back of your mind that you have a blown head gasket being held together with "stop leak".
