Usually this means a head gasket is leaking somewhere. Or if you happen to have a oil cooler mounted to the radiator that could be be where it is leaking, but this is not usually the case. If you notice whitesh smoke out of the exhaust then it is definitely a head gasket leak. Usually the oil will also contain some coolant in it. It will appear as a whitesh foam. This needs to be fixed bc it will only get worse.
