Antifreeze coming out of oil pan. HELP!!!!!!
Hey guys, so I have an issue. My car has been sitting for 3 years (was running and driving up to that point). I finally have some time and money, so I wanted to get it back on the road. This morning I started to change all the fluids and try and get my stand road worthy once again. I first noticed something odd when I drained the radiator, and there was barely any fluid in the radiator. The fluid that did come out of the radiator was pure green. I kept going changing belts and hoses, with no issue. I then went to drain the oil so I could perform an oil change. This is when trouble hit. Tons of radiator fluid poured out of the oil pan drain plug (all green) then was followed by the oil. I am totally confused, because I've seen milkey oil before (typically water/radiator fluid has contaminated the oil) but never the two products coming out of the oil pan separately. Please help. Thanks guys.
1. What can cause this issue?
2. How can this issue be fixed?
3. How pricey is it to fix this issue?

probably an intake gasket or head gasket.
My Vote is on the intake gasket...that is less work than a head gasket.
Pull the plugs and see if any of them look like they have water on them (rusted)

also try to use a flashlight and mirror to look into the cylinders through the plug holes. you should see rust at the leak site.
It could also get in from the timing chain cover.
If you cant find direct evidence of the location of intrusion refill the radiator and look for water leaks you may need a pressure tester to apply a 10 PSI load to the radiator to help force the water out...any auto parts store should have one for sale or rent
