Re: radiator filling up with oil
you have a numnut put oil in the radiator before you started it?
if you ahve oil in radiator *coming from the motor* you would have coolant in the oil also, mixing.
drain it. refill it. try again

unless someone poured a quart of oil into the radiator I suggest you check that headgasket installation. If you do plan to check the headgasket drain everything and inspect the coolant passage way.
