    Yup.. Pull the oil dip stick, and check for water in the oil..(head gasket)
    But, more than likely, just a bad heater core...

      Heater core

      Figure out the inlet and outlet side. Unhook inlet side and disconnect outlet side where it goes back into system (likely on the block somewhere). Hook hose going to inlet up where outlet went back into block (if it will reach) and loop outlet hose back to inlet side of heater core.
      Replace heater core when you have time and hook hoses back where they should go.

      Hopefully that made some sense

      Or if you are not mechanically inclined, send it to the shop for a heater core.

          This. Shove some steel fuel line or something similar in the two sections of hose and hose clamp together.

          Easy quick fix

              If it ain't the heater core, check to see if it has an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. Mine sprung a leak in my old Camaro.

                Heater core. Oily stuff is antifreeze
