been getting oil in radiator for awhile, seems to be getting worse. Just wondering if u had any ideas, someone thought could be from water pump, dont think their is enough oil pressure in head to be from their any ideas uses a little oil. runs good

The candidate most likely to be responsible is the head gasket. There is a passage to the valve train that can put oil directly into the water passages.
There are few other choices except a crack in the block into an oil gallery from the water jacket. This is not a probable cause. Leaks from the lower end into the water can't happen because the water is pressurized and the oil at that location is not.
Best of luck, Jim
