1994 Toyota Pickup 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I am 100% sure there is water in the oil now, possible cracked head, or head gasket. My question,
is there any thing else more minor that could cause this condition? What ballpark figure would it cost to have a shop fix this if it is a gasket or worse cracked head? I don't have money at the moment to fix at shop, any temporary quick fix? I have heard good things about "Moroso Ceramic Sealant".

Most likely headgasket the heads on Toyoto are fairly bullet proof unless engine ran extremly hot. @cost $800-$1200. Don't know about that sealent but what you got to loose. If you have to keep driving it change oil frequently or bearing damage will occur.
Is oil a chocolate malt look? If yes then water in oil.
Wish I had a simple fix
