I almost set my Scirocco on fire once putting oil in it (at a gas station no less - what a disaster that would have been.....)

Another way to check is to hold an emmisions tester sensor wand over the radiator opening while the car is running. The tester will tell you if there are exhaust gasses in the coolant.
