More than likely a water-oil heat exchanger has ruptured. You'll also need to carry out some extensive cleaning, as the oil will damage rubber hoses and clog up the radiator very badly.

Ive never worked on an RX-8 before. But if you're asking those questions, perhaps you'd be better seeking a mechanic.
