There is a heat exchanger, part of the oil filter housing assy #11 42 7 788 462, but coolant doesn't flow through it.
Actually coolant does flow through the heat exchanger. Please see these links:

To the OP. Do you see oil yourself or a garage is telling you there is oil in your cooling system?

The part is not that expensive to replace. Will need gaskets as well.
