Yep, either an internal engine leak (most likely a head gasket) or if you have an auto, the tranny fluid could be leaking into the engine coolant part of the radiator.

does the car smoke white, or is your oil milky if so then def. warped/blown headgsket
if not then it might be left over oil residue, from last blown gasket, maybe you should flush it, but you did say it was pretty oily, idk just throwin out my experience

Do a compression check and see how the numbers look. That would most likely show if the head gasket is gone again. But yea i would flush the radiator really good. Don't forget to turn your heater on when you do so it will flush the heater core too.
