timing belt broke had to have new head put on, now oil is getting in to radiator spilling out & when i slow down or break the oil light comes on as well as the engine sounds like it's being dogging. The head it was used and i had it tested today for pressure and vacuum it came back fine. I think they rebuilt my old one. It does not over heat, the engine light does NOT come on. What could it be, I'm lost!

If oil is getting into the coolant or coolant into the oil .. there has to be a fault on the head or the headgasket have it compression tested again !!
