NO oil is not normal. Now what color was it? How does the engine oil itself look does it have water in it or is it low? Get back to me and we will go from there.

Ok I need you to check you trans fluid if it an automatic. The trans cooler is in the radiator and if that cooler failed then all you need to do is replace the radiator and fluid and that will fix it. Let me know what you find ok.
