Head gasket. Or if your car is an auto it could be tranny fluid.

Change the title, "need help fast" doesn't really do anything.

Whats a valve pan gasket?

Also, if there is tranny fluid in your radiator then there is likely coolant in your transmission and you should stop driving immediately, flush the trans and get a new radiator.
