headgasket is gone if oil is mixing with antifreeze...pull up the valve cover and see what color is it...if it looks like coffee headgasket is gone.

but its in the resevor so that means either 1) you decided instead of adding oil to your engine you put it in the bucket ( sister did it before...) 2) oil mixing with antifreeze from blown head gasket/ crack in yo head. open the rad cap when the engines cool, and start it up, if the antifreeze shoots out, kiss lots of money good bye as there is a problem. also look for a rainbow ( oil stain in the antifreeze) when you undo the cap.
