Why is engine oil winding up in my radiator ???

2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 3.1L MOTOR 60,000MILESWhy is engine oil winding up in my radiator ???
If you are sure it is engine oil and not transmission fluid then


your heads are warped or you have a crack in your block,,,,Why is engine oil winding up in my radiator ???
would check out your head gasket. does the oil look a bit like mayonase? This is a bit clue the head gasket is gone. What colour is the coolant?
intake or head gasket is leaking.
Cracked block OR Blown head gasket
That is not good, the first answer got it right!
beacause its a 2002 pontiac grand prix 3.1L motor 60,000miles!


you must be blind!
that shows signs that your headgasket has given in don't drive it take it to a garage before you cause much more damage
I would drain my oil and make sure the opposite isn't the case also. If water is in the oil the head gasket is blown and needs replaced ASAP. If nothing is there then it's more than likely ATF (automatic transmission fluid) you're seeing which could be a result of a hole in the transmission cooling lines within the radiator.
doesn't sound good. Sounds like a cracked block.
