It is a blown head gasket. You have my sympathies, but there is no quick (or cheap) fix for this.
Before you spend a lot of money on a replacement engine, have your vehicle inspected by a qualified professional. It is possible, though, to be honest, not likely, that replacement of the gasket and a thorough cleaning of the engine may solve the problem.
Again, my sympathies. I have been through the same ordeal

Well theres no doubt, definitely have a blown head gasket..no need to replace the engine just the head gasket. flush out the cooling system and change the oil..good as new..Nick

Blown head gasket, there are short term "emergency on the road fixes", but in the long and short run you are going to need to have it repaired.

About two weeks ago, I met a guy at the local auto parts store who accidently poured oil in his radiator. I know this sounds dumb, but let's rule that out first of all. Good luck.
