The head or block may have been cracked , did they magna flux the head when you took it to the machine shop for milling the mating surface ?

Do you have an engine oil cooler in the radiator? If so it may be leaking into the radiator. Same deal with the transmission if it's an automatic transmission. Hope that helps! Jim
