Probably oil is getting into the cooling system, could be engine oil from bad gasket, or tranny fluid from a leaking cooling coil in the radiator.

You won't get a good answer untill you start taking things apart. You may try a compression test and may or may not be able to pick up a bad head gasket, and check the fluid level in the tranny weekly, to see if you are losing fluid.
