I am afraid you are right. Fuel in the coolant means a cracked injector cup. Here' a link abut cracked injector cup. LINK

Here's a thread with some info on changing an injector cup. LINK

Cracked cups are usually caused by overheating.

Edit : Another posibility is just the right crack in one of the heads.
