Think about the cooling passages and where do they come in contact with oil?? DO you have an automatic and cooling lines going to the radiator maybe?

Most likely gonna be blown head gaskets. Has the car recently been overheated or do you spray it?

Is it red???
Check your ps/oil cooler for internal leaks and/or corrosion, sounds to me like it took a dump on ya and is leaking ps fluid into the coolant...
Look into the PS reservoir, is it milky?????

Severe overheading can warp the heads too, I think.
