do 53 blocks crack often? how many of u?

How many of you had this happen?

so i found oil in my radiator today. i know it could be oil cooler, head gasket or a cracked block. i am just wondering how often these motors crack. if you haven't guessed it by now, i have one. will pull oil cooler over the weekend or sooner if i can and test. then pull the head if necessary and look at the gasket. where should i look for the crack if that is what it is? has anyone had the cracked block covered by cummings or dodge? i have read on sites that they will replace the block but not the labor to do it. thanks and its ben one problem after another with me.
