I would almost say you have a head gasket problem...

head gasket
9957pt is the felpro part # ...your gonna need 2 (this is for the 3.1l)
if you have any oil in your rad, or antifreeze in your oil(this is the way it usually happens) then its usually the head gasket

haha yup my 3.1 did that to me, the problem is the severe angle of the lower intake gasket has a bad habit of splitting. but yeah DO NOT START the car until you fix this problem of you will be suffering down the road. tis why i built a new engine, so either head or lower intake gasket is 100% the problem

look in the rad for oil and the oil for a creamy milky looking liquid it will look just like a choclate milk shake.
As far as a head gasket is that what a woman uses ..... Never mind this is a family site. ill shut up agian .
Good luck fixing your car
