Oil in radiator

I've got oil in my radiator.
I've never run across this type of thing before could I have a bad freeze plug? It poured all the water out last nite after driving 200 mile . I replaced the thermostat and the bypass hose.

You sure its not transmission fluid? if it is engine oil-could mean a blown headgasket/cracked head or block-Get it pressure tested to find out where its leaking.
