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.
