Does it "perk-o-late" with the cap off and the engine running? My first guess would be head gasket. But I would assume there are other things that could cause this.
My 2 cents

A leaking intake gasket could allow oil to reach the cooling system, as well as a blown head gasket.

You may have oil as a result of a bad head gasket. You may also really have a problem with a leaking transmission cooler tank. Sometimes oil and Dexron look similar when mixed with coolant.
Tranny fluid is cooled inside a tank with the radiator. If there's a failure, the tranny fluid mixes with the coolant in the radiator.
Something else to consider.
