I have oil in the antifreeze (thick light brown liquid at the top of the radiator) and My check engine light is on giveing a p0161 - O2 Sesnsor Heater circuit (Bank 2 Sensor). I assume the sensor is being affected by the oil in the coolant.
looking for guidence

Normally this is caused by a blown intake or head gasket. Need to have engine checked at repair shop so they can perform pressure/dye tests to look for cracks.
