Not uncommon. One fluid is being pressurized into the other, so there is a one way mixing going on. In your case, engine oil is being forced past a gasket into a coolant journal. There are only a couple places where there are such gaskets.

You should write suspens novels... Im on the edge of my seat just dying to know what all the possible places could be... lol

Ok, really, how many places and what are they? My cousin can fix it if we had an idea of what to take apart. This car is very old to be taking the engine apart without really knowing if what we are doing will help.

Thanks MTI you are very helpful!

Don't even want to venture a guess?

The prime suspect is the head gasket. Next in line might be the front timing case cover and water pump.

I was hoping you weren't going to say that lol. I have had problems with this for a long time. I always get told head gasket. But the only sign of that is the oil in the water/oil light comes on ~2000 miles after an oil change. I dont have a loss of power or anything from the tail pipe. Ill have to look into the water pump wich had been replaced alittle before this started, and the front case thing.

Thanks MTI you're very knowledgeable with these cars.
