What do I do now? The car never over heated, but when checking my fluids... I found oil in the radiator, but not on the dipstick.
Help??

You may have caught this catastrophic failure as it occurred.
How much oil is in the coolant?
The oil can be getting into the coolant without the coolant being in the oil.
You will likely need an engine unless the fluid transfer is found inside an oil cooler. Let us know.
