I'm not a Porsche expert, but oil in your coolant is never a good thing no matter what year/make/model you own. Take it into your favorite mechanic and have it checked out immediately.

Check your oil cooler seals, this is a common failure on Porsche 944's. The oil cooler should be external, usually the coolant leaks into the cooler or the oil leaks into the coolant. If you continue to attempt to run the car like this you will eventually get a "milkshake" in your pistons and be in a world of trouble.

You have a leaky headgasket that is sipping oil into the cooloing system, replace it as soon as you can...

At first I would say headgasket as well but can you determine if it motor oil or trans oil I believe that model has trans oil cooler in the radiator and that cooler may be leaking trans oil into the radiator otherwise its a head gasket stop driving immediatly other wise coolant is in the oil as well and will cause you to spin a bearing then you screwed
