Answer 1

Sounds like you blown out the gasket between your engine head and the engine. That is so common when you heat up your engine. Have an expert technician opinion.

Answer 2

You have either a bad head gasket,cracked block,warped head, or cracked head. No matter what one it is, it's going to be very costly.

Answer 3

You have a blown head gasket. If it is a vehicle that you want to keep find a good used motor to replace that one with. After driving a while with a blown head gasket normally damage occurs to the piston rings and lower end bearings. So the best fix would be to replace the motor and radiator, thermostat. Good luck!!

Answer 4

Oil doesn't get into your radiator as much as coolant gets into your engine, then heads back that way.  It sounds like you have a pretty serious engine issue here, like a leaking gasket or even a cracked head, and that's where the coolant is getting into your engine and oil.  This would also explain why the engine is running so poorly...it probably can't even hold up enough compression to keep itself going.  Better get that checked out ASAP.

Answer 5

You have a blown head gasket my friend and quite possibly a warped head as well

Answer 6

could be trany fluid your trany has a cooler witch suntumes runs threw your radiator ive seen that acouple times.could be a cracked head but i doubt it .that usuly results in antifreez in the oil pan or hydro lock and your motor wont spinn at all because their is water in one of the cylnders not alowing the piston to fullt complete the compression stroke thus stoping the motor from spinning altogather
