need a better idea as to how much, how long has the car sat and so forth. how you discovered this as well, but most likely its a head gasket. Check the rad for oil in the water.

Let us know as soon as you find out! But it doesn't sound good! My guess is the head gasket!

check your coolant and see what it looks like.....has the car been overheated or anything? Reason I ask is I rarely ever here of someone popping a head gasket on these things. Matter of fact I would probably exhaust ever other possibility before thinking head gasket.

Figure it out quick because coolant in the oil will ruin bearings fast.......
