The only oil that has any chance of getting into the radiator, without having a MAJOR failure, (which would be patently obvious. ) is the trans cooler in the passenger side tank.

See what your trans fluid looks like. (just use the dipstick, that'll show everything you need to know.) if that looks good, I would test the cooler, and verify it is not leaking.....

Both the engine oil, and the tranny fluid look great.. I checked the tranny fluid in neutral while the engine was worm and it was at the perfect level. The engine oil also looks great, no bubbles or milky film. I think i am in the crear!
