it had oil in the water do to over heating and the radiator is new. I didn't have the head checked i should of . know that i check the dipstick there is no oil it is dry and i put 6 q i was going to let is sit and get worm and change oil again to have a clean engine. I drained the radiator and it is like all the oil is there where do i go from here

It doesn't take much water in the oil or vice versa. I would try to find a pressure tester to put on the cooling system and see if it will hold pressure. I don't know whar to clean the radiator with other than maybe dawn dishwashing liquid. Don't use superclean- it's extremely hard on aluminum. When they overheat it usually warps the head and the cam bores. If it won't hold pressure about all you can do is take the head off and have it checked out. I know you don't want to hear that but, I don't know any easy way out. The only other place to get oil in the radiator is from the trans cooler but, you said the radiator is new so that's not likely.

Update
sorry haven't posted up sooner this is what was the problem it was the radiator the oil was not filtering back to the engine and it would build pressure with oil and water mixed in the radiator and cause it to burst out of the water reservoir. it would leave the engine empty. Tech said I could bypass this so I did. I want to the junk yard found an 850 took the radiator and oil cover by the pulley and it works fine now. I changed the head gasket 2 times and it was the RADIATOR all along. I bought the car off craigslist for 550 not bad. I am know in love with VOLVO I know that engine in and out.
