This usually happens when a head gasket blows or a cracked head. The oil pressure is greater than the coolant pressure so oil goes to the radiator/ overflo. Sorry!!

....Unless someone put oil in the radiator, lol. More than likely it is a head gasket or cracked head. It is easy to change head gaskets though. Good Luck.
