Couple of days ago I thought I also had a blown head gasket, but fortunately it was just the heat exchange hose.. You can change it yourself or be prepared to fork out some bucks to let a mechanic do it..

if the engine is still running okay and you've got water in your oil (or oil in your water).. then most likely it is the head gasket.

BUT..

I would highly suggest a compression test first.. if you don't want to/can't do the work yourself, just drop it off at a shop and be ready to fork over $1000 in a few days.

let's hope for something less drastic than a head gasket, but from what you're saying, that's what it sounds like to me.
