Default need some help...oil in my radiator

Hopefully im writing this in the right subject and topic:

yesterday i noticed oil in my radiator....actually i noticed it a while ago but didn't think anything of it....iv been wondering what has been making my car not seem as fast as it was when i first got it back from shop and im thinking this my be playing a role in it..

Alot of people have told me that it sounds like its the head gasket....im wondering if my car overheating and smoking off and on for the last month or so is because of this headgasket...maybe it was barely bad and then after my last event is what has made the problems so much more noticable

im hoping i have given plenty info on the subject...if not please ask me some questions i will answer them the best i can....im really stumped right now and need some guidance so i can take care of the situation....i am open to comment and recomendations

does sound like a headgasket issue, unless you poured the oil into the radiator.
