Did you bleed the system?

Not 100% head gasket, but highly likely... Or maybe a crack in the head due to cold weather?

well either way hopefully its the head gasket but water and oil are mixing.. when was the oil last changed? or flushed the system? head of blockages of thickened oil in the head and blowing the gasket out to relieve the pressure...
