Oil in my antifreeze

My car has been running really hot and going thru oil,along with lots of hesitations.Whats the most common way of oil getting in the antifreeze. And i installed redline watter wetter a year ago could this be the oily film.
If it is oil what shall i do?

Car running hot + oil in antifreeze = blown headgasket. Course of action. Get it fixed or just replace the whole engine w/ another low mi used unit. Both are probably the same price.

Yes any engine from 95-99 will work fine. However, note that MardigrasMax put a 96 motor in his 98. If I remember correctly, their were two sensors that had a different plastic harness, but that is VERY easy to solve....
