If you didn't have an oil burning problem before the replacement sounds like there is a leak from an oil passage into your combustion chamber via headgasket. Another area to consider is piston rings could be worn or you may have leaky valve stem seals. These are the major causes of oil burning.

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.
