Best Answer

chances are you have a blown head gasket.....that's about the only thing that can cause an oil type substance in your radiator......check your oil fill cap and area where the cap goes for a white foamy or creamy substance, if this is there that's your trouble

How does motor oil get mixed with coolant fluid in Buick Century 1998?

A couple of ways. 1. Someone put the wrong fluid in the wrong place. But since you wouldn't do that I would guess that the engine block has a crack in it. The water jacket has been compromised and the fluids changed place. Check your oil and see if there is a milky substance on the bottom of the dipstick. If there is, well sorry, seek out a qualified mechanic.
