Oil in the water is never a good sign. I'm assuming you can dismiss any chance of accidental contamination?
It can be a crack in head or block between an oil and a water passage. Very often it's the head gasket. A cylinder compression test will give a better indication of gasket failure.

Def head Gasket gone! If you did not put the oil in there a Gasket it is. Not the end of the world as long as you did not drive it too much after it happened. Will need Head skimming, gasket repair and worse of all internal clean up! You will not need a new engine as long as you did not cook it completely but you will need a partial rebuild. Do not drive the car until it is checked.

Thank you so much guys for your input..my car has now been sitting since November. I suspected the head gaskets from the beginning. I bought them but have yet to find someone qualified that won't charge me a fortune. If anyone else has any input or prior experience please share. Once again, thank you very much!!
