Oil in radiator

[CRS1951]

I bought my 5th 8n and it has got a lot of oil in the radiator. Almost as much as the oil pan.
Where did it come from? Thanks for your comments.

If its black sticky arse gummy chit its combustion byproducts time for a new head gasket... If not and more of a milk shake you are in deep chit....

in my experience onnthese little engines,oil in the radiator is most likely a head problem.water in the oil,real trouble like hobo says. when you get your head off ,check it good for cracks and warping. you cant mill these heads much,i dont know the exact amount,but if its warped i personaly replace it.
