Hi:

If this has an automatic transmission, confirm nothing is mixing with the ATF. Other than that, you most likely have a head gasket issue allowing oil to enter the cooling system. Most times, it is the opposite, but this can happen too.

Here is a link to check for a possible head gasket problem. Take a look through it and see if it helps.

Let me know what you find.
