    head gasket is busted and oil is getting into the coolant and water is getting into the cylinders?
    explains the oil in the radiator and smoke being blown out the back
    white smoke = water
    blue smoke = oil
    black smoke = fuel

    If you have oil in your coolant, then the head gasket could be blown. The combustion pressure forces oil into the coolant line and into the radiator. Test by opening your radiator cap when the engine is cold and then starting your engine. If the head gasket is blown, you'll get lots of bubbles coming out of the radiator.

    Is there a buildup of milky residue under your radiator cap ?

    or under the oil cap.

    if its milky thick in your coolant, its a headgasket issue or possibly a cracked/warped block (unlikely)

    A milky residue under the oil cap is very unlikely unless the problem has been occuring for quite a while now then it's a possibility, it will be detected earlier under the radiator cap, but yes, you can check under the oil cap too.
