How can you tell if antifreeze is leaking into your engine?
Look at the oil on the dipstick. If you have antifreeze leaking into the crankcase the oil will be milky.
Why would there be oil in your radiator?
Odds are you have blown a head gasket and the antifreeze and oil flow share the same gasket. As the gasket wears, the antifreeze mixes into the oil and vice versa! I suggest replacing your current antifreeze and do a full flush. Test it for a few days and test if you have oil again. A tell tell sign of a blown head gasket is black smoke (burning oil) or white smoke (burning antifreeze ) coming out the exhaust.

NO! Take it to a mechanic immediately. Call AAA at once, if you are a member. Oil is not antifreeze and antifreeze is not oil!
What are the effects of antifreeze mixing into the engine oil?
A bad head gasket is the most common cause of antifreeze mixing in the oil. The antifreeze will dilute the oil and it will eventually cause your engine to seize up.

How do you tell if you have oil in your coolant?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but from what I have heard your engine oil will turn kind of milky looking if antifreeze is getting into the engine oil Also , the oil level will keep rising on the dipstick ( I did have a vehicle once that I had pink colored antifreeze in it , the oil would actually float on top of the antifreeze after the engine was shut down for a while , it wouldn't mix but the oil level on the dipstick kept going up and the engine coolant kept going down ( Sorry , I reviewed my answer and it's for coolant in the oil )
How can you tell if you have a blown head gasket on a 2001 Olds Aurora?
Answerwhile the engine is running, the exhaust will have a sweet smell, the exhaust will also be extremely dense and alot of it. In extreme cases there is a possibility of antifreeze in the oil pan. Checked by pulling dipstick, the antifreeze will appear blotted on the oil.
