I was driving 2 days ago and out of nowhere my car started leaking antifreeze and i noticed it had oil in it, i check the engine oil to see if it was milky but oil looked good even tho most of it was gone..could this just be a bad radiator?:shrug:

Could be a headgasket or oil cooler. Do a compression and leak down test.
oil cooler
Installation is very easy and I just happen to have a good oil cooler for sale.
If it's the oil cooler, it's a piece of cake.
If it's a head gasket, it's gonna take some work.

This will give you an idea what need to do but if NASVT has one for sale it is easier to replace the entire pump.
