My '94 camaro is leaking oil into the radiator, where would this be happening at?

The most common cause of oil in the coolant is a failed head gasket. Given that you are also experiencing idle issues, I would say that this is probably what you are experiencing.





A cracked block or head is incredibly rare for an un-modified engine that has never overheated.





Bad valve seals will absolutely not leak oil into the coolant, they will leak oil into the combustion chamber, but not into the coolant passages.My '94 camaro is leaking oil into the radiator, where would this be happening at?
oil can only access coolant when either a head is cracked in or around the valve seat area, a block is cracked or a head gasket is blown...is the vehicle overheating?





now, GSD PAL may be correct if ur termonology of ';oil'; is not engine oil but trans fluid..as she is correct, the trans cooler is integrated into the radiator and a leak between the two would allow trans fluid into the coolant AND vice versa, coolant into the trans..if u indeed mean trans fluid when u say ';oil';, then pull the trans dipstick and see if it has coolant in it.My '94 camaro is leaking oil into the radiator, where would this be happening at?
if you are sure this is the problem then you have a crack in the block intake or heads if its the intake or heads replace them if its your block get a new one thats all you really can do man good luck with this unless the oil tubes run to the radiator then all u need to do is replace the radiator
had the same problem with a 350 bored 60 over!spent 400 bucks on it tryin to figure it out.come to find out the block had a hairline crack between the cylinder walls!id do a compression check if i were u to make sure! hope thats not what it is!good luck
Check your transmission fluid level. If it is low then the cooler may have a hole in it.
cyl head/manifold gasket and thats also the leak causing the running problem
Sounds like a cracked cylinder head
