Put your finger in the coolant and see if it really is oil. If you have an auto trans, might be a leak between the radiator and trans cooler. Or engine oil. If not oil, check the coolant hoses for internal breakdown (including overflow tank hose).

If all OK, drain and flush the system.

I need to flush mine too. I've heard that the red coolant that newer cars have turns to goo quicker than the green stuff.
