he paid too much money for the head gasket he went to this sonic auto repair idk sum bs the mechanic tellin him now tht he should change the whole motor but i told him hes just tryin to get more money out of him anyways he took it back like 3 times everytime i think they flush it and it comes right back n now finally he brought the car to me so i can take a look at it but i cant figure it out because the car runs perfect its got compression the head looks super clean theres no oil on it looks like they watter pressured it or sumthin but its clean...

So I assume the coolant was changed since the first blown headgasket? so the oil mixing in the coolant is "recent"?

Okay, i'm going to try to fill in the blanks here. So the headgasket was previously blown, motor overheated, the head or block warped, the block/head didn't get resurface, then you replaced your headgasket and the leak continued. thats probably why a new motor was suggested.
The reason you pistons look steam cleaned is due to coolant leaking into the cylinder, which basically steam cleans it.

is it an automatic cause if it is then the radiator just might be leaking the tranny fluid into the coolant

pretty unlikely. also auto transmissions use atf (which is red) not oil.

i would say its more than likly the tranny fluid in the coolant but if your sure its the oil take it back to the shop they ****ed up they fix it for free duh, they probly forget to check it for warpedness which will blow another one, i blew 3 headgaskets like that until i finally figured it out
