Oil in the radiator expansion tank can be caused by a blown head gasket, which allows engine oil to mix with coolant. Another possibility is a cracked engine block or cylinder head, creating a pathway for oil to enter the cooling system. Additionally, a failing oil cooler, if equipped, can leak oil into the coolant. These issues typically indicate serious engine problems that require immediate attention.
