      Oil mixed in with coolant means a cracked block or blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head

        I understand that if it if foamy its a cracked block, I agree with all the above, you unfortunately have a serious problem. Regardless if foamy or not..

          I'm all with ed4play 100% Unfortunately, this is not a good thing, good luck. Depending on what vehicle it is and how many miles on it, you might be better off replacing the engine. (if only head gasket, you are lucky)

              Regardless of the reason why, this is serious and needs to be properly diagnosed and repaired by a certified mechanic. Once you know the problem you can then decide as to what do. Good luck.
