Oil and water do not mix..... The hose is taking the oil to the radiator to cool it, It's called an oil cooler. The coolant should have a separate radiator.

No, the oil cooler is seperated internally from the antifreeze coolant curcuit in the radiator. Kind of a 2 in 1 deal.
is this a car? wait it doesnt make a difference, unless this is a 2 stroke engine which it definetly isn't , you do not mix oil with anything for an engine, ever.
