Hello, The oil in the radiator is likely from your transmission. That is, unless someone poured it into the coolant by accident. That being said, you can check for water in the oil when the engine is cold and has been sitting. That will allow the water to collect and give the congealed creamy appearance on the dipstick. Also, if you check it when hot, the water can steam off if it is only a little. Check the transmission, look for water, and if you cannot tell, take it in for diagnosis. This should not go overlooked. If there is blending from the engine or transmission, it will eventually cost you an engine or a transmission.
'IF' automatic transmission (?) .. It is indeed possibly transmission fluid you're seeing in the coolant .. Both the engine oil and automatic transmission fluid pressures are greater than the coolant system pressures .. While vehicle is being operated .. When parked - then residual coolant system pressure is greater .. It may take awhile for coolant to show up in the engine OR the 'automatic' transmission .. As stated - to prevent the potential for very costly engine//transmission damage .. Highly recommend visiting local auto repair facility for hands-on inspection and testing.
