The power steering pump wouldn't get oil into the radiator. Now for the possible bad news and why it make a difference on the years. The 00-01 are known to have a crappy 0331 head which are known for cracking. But before you get to concerned you need to check you oil and see if there is any coolant in it. Check the oil dip stick to see if it has water also pull oil fill cap and with a good bright flashlight and look inside with the engine running. If the head is crack it is very possible to see coolant coming through the crack. Check those things out and let us know what you find. One last and very important thing. If you do find water in the oil Stop driving it and stop running the engine. You can cause a lot bigger problem then just a bad head.
