1997 Ford Cobra

Ok, my buddies cobra had a thick brownish liquid in his radiator. I took it out and it was oil. I don't see any oil coolant lines coming/going from the transmission nor the engine. I drain the transmission fluid and it looked fine. I didnt have time to check the engine fluid cause it was getting dark. I know someone has had this problem before. What could it be?

Is it an automatic? also, if it is, does the transmission have cooling lines running through the radiator?

if its oil, then its prolly a headgasket

All cobras are either 5 or 6 speed manuals.

x2 Sounds exactly like a headgasket. Is the car overheating?

Sorry people, yes it's 5-speed and yes it was also overheating. Its the head gasket that are bad
