CHANGE THE OIL IMMEDIATELY< AND FILTER. Oil with water is the kiss of death to bearing surface... DO NOT run engine till it has clean oil.
Then, run engine and watch for bubbles in radiator tank.. if head gasket is leaking, engine compression overpowers coolant pressure and compression gas will bubble up... If gasket is really leaking, the coolant will surge up the filler neck each time you rev up the engine... If it's a little seep leak, you will get bubbles... If you have bubbles or surge... head gasket replacement...
