Sounds like you have oil making it pass the PCV Valve into the air intake system and all the way into the intake manifold. I would remove and clean both intake manifold and intake piping, replace the air filter and the pcv valve and the pcv hose going from the valve cover to the air intake tube. As to why oil is in the radiator, it sounds like either a water jacket is cracked or you have a head gasket failure, if that's the case your oil is junk too.
