Default Oil in Cooling System

I thought this would be the place to find the top FE experts on the net (humble ass kissing). Here's the stats.

1) Motor looks clean like it has has a recent rebuild.
2) Runs fine, has dead even 90psi in all holes.
3) No oil burning
4) Oil in the radiator (a lot but i don't know how fast because i never cleaned it)

Questons:
1)Is it possible or even common for this to be from the intake seal?
2) does anyone have any personal experience with this problem?

Any input is appreciated.

are you sure its oil.......does it look like chocolate milk?????????? or does it have an oily look to it that could be some kind of additive???????????oil in the water is the sign of something major and would probably not run much longer.

Ten to one a blown head gasket if you are seeing oil in the water.
