Some of the Lumina radiators have oil lines and transmission lines hooked to them if this is the case with your car then there maybe a crack in the plastic tank on the side of the radiator I would recommend checking that before replacing the head gasket much cheaper and a lot easier if you bring it to a shop it usually will run about $125 for a replacement tank parts and labor included; if you do it on your own it will probably cost about $50. If it has no oil lines connected to the radiator then it is most likely the head gasket, and well that's not gonna be fun.
