Exclamation 2001 GS300 leaking oil issues

Please advise if you can..... My car seems to be leaking oil from the radiator. Also the temperature gauge is slightly higher than the 1/2. I had it check three times and everything seems ok. We had radiator checked as well as the hoses connected to the radiator. They also changed the thermotast and it still has the same problem. Thank you!

There is only antifreeze and tranny fluid flowing through the radiatior. If coolant level is fine then check trans fluid level. There are 2 lines that connect to the radiator, check them for the possible leak. Welcome to CL

My temp gauge is always just above the half-way point. That sounds normal to me.
