Hope you got the original head gasket????

While doing head gasket change mechanic took head to lathe guys for checking if its bend or not. It must be bend thats why its leaking again. In that you need new engine head. Sorry for loss, i knw its painful to get things done twice and with so much expense.

Just as Bhikoo said, a blown head gasket could cause the oil to fill into the radiator. Although there are "do it yourself" ways on how to fix this, it would be better for you to just take it to the mechanic who should have fixed it the first time. Don't forget to ask him for discounts for not doing the job properly the first time.
