What problems could be the result of oil in my radiator. How can the problem be resolved and what cost am I looking at.

Assuming no one Put oil in there. Not a good sign! Is there antifreeze in your engine? Did you recently overheat your car? I'm just thinking to when the head gasket blew on my Chevy. The only way I know of oil getting into a radiator is if it got in from a head gasket leak.

As Sara said if it is oil then the headgasket, check the oil in the pan for a chocolate color.

If it is reddish, it could be the trans oil cooler is leaking inside radiator.
