Most likely a blown head gasket, but you should do a leakdown test, or have
a mechanic do it.

 

From a point at sea, to the circles of your mind, this is 4locos:

Two posibilities:

1) Blown head gasket - there is a leak between the oilway and the
cooling jacket. It's not good, but I lived with one like this for a
year or two.

2) If you have auto transmission, it is possible that the oil cooler
that lives in the radiator is leaking, though this usually goes the
other way - water in the autobox. Check this anyway because it can
cost you a new gearbox if not attended to. Pull the autobox dipstick -
if the oil is red and clear, OK. If it is creamy, or looks like a
milkshake you need to change the radiator and flush out the gearbox
asap.
