oil in coolant..STOP

Tsai-Pao Hsu
  Do not drive this car!  Have someone look at immediately.  It may still
be repairable.
  Normally, if there's oil in the coolant, there will be coolant in the
oil, which will severely damage all moving parts.
  I have seen headgasket leakage in a one-way fashion, with high pressure
oil being pumped into the coolant passages, but the low pressure coolant
didn't leak back.
  If you car is an automatic, it probably has cooling coils within the
radiator for the transmission.  Occasionally these coils leak transmission
fluid into the coolant, and coolant can leak back into the tranny.
  Please have this investigated immediately.
  Good Luck.
