radiator has oil, help.

[CG-loner]

Still very new to these car.
Brought the car from a owner.
A few week later I notice that there was oil in the radiator.
Took to shop for a complete flush and oil change.

after 2000 mile I notice that there is oil in the radiator and in reservoir AGAIN.
I check every where and seem to be no oil leaking.

What could it be? any tip would be great.

Thanks guys

Blown head gasket.

is that hard to do?
how much for the gasket at honda?

I think TAS has them for $40, dealer is probably $50-60.

Well, you have to take the head off and bring it to a machine shop and have it milled flat, and then put the new gasket in.
