How much oil are you losing? Could be a blown head gasket.

Blown head gasket or do you have a power steering cooler I have heard of them leaking into the coolant?

GOOD IDEA, I DO HAVE A PS COOLER & ENGINE DOESN'T APPEAR TO USE ANY OIL, THANKS DO YOU KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OIL PRESSURE POINTS THAT WOULD ALLOW OIL TO ENTER THROUGH HEAD GASKETS? no water in oil.

Do you have a power steering cooler?

If so, pull it and get a "normal" radiator hose.
