oil in antifreeze

I have a 2004 500 manual arctic cat 4x4. I have antifreeze in the oil... Is this just a head gasket problem or is there something else I should be looking for?

Sounds like a head gasket. HOW much in the oil? And how fast/times are you filling your rad?
Pull you plug, and see how it's faring, and watch your exhaust. If it's all cloudy your burn'n it too.

If you are burning antifreeze the exhaust will have a sweet smell to it. You can also check your plug color and OR do a compression check? By chance is is hard starting?
