1999 Buick Century

What would cause grease to get into the radiator?

The car is running excellent but will the grease cause any problems.

Why do I have to press the gas pedal after putting gas into the car before it start?

The first thing you'll need to do is determine what that actually is in the radiator. The only way grease got in there is if someone put it there. It may be motor oil or transmission fluid that coagulated in the coolant. Check your motor oil to see if you see any signs of coolant there.
