The radiator was replaced and also the head gasket, but still have oil coming into the coolent. What are other likley causes as the mechanics are are not sure where the oil is entering. The cars has run pretty good during all this as well. Any ideas

Could be a cracked block or head. Does the car have an oil cooler built into the radiator? Could be that as well. Did the shop have the head surfaced and pressure tested when it was off the car?
