the car is 16 years old...never put straight water in radiator...it will rust the water pump...coolant is a lubricant...267k time for a up- grade.

look at the car like a body, if "oil" is coming, literally out the tailpipe when you trace that tail pipe back up to the engine, it should be gaskets seal to prevent this from happening, if I drink milk right now and it comes out my feet when I stand up? then it's a problem, however trace it back may have to remove engine and really look at every square inch inside out all parts remove cleaning it out looking for leaks.
