Because there is no gasket, 850's don't have many problems. The factory uses a glue for a gasket and it must be expertly applied, not a DIY job. If it is not a turbo, check the PCV for cleaning.
I have a hard time believing that oil AND coolant are leaking from the same place. Is there coolant in the oil already? I would find another mechanic and get a second opinion before I sell my car and buy and Audi.
