Nissan Altima Gas Problem

There is water in my oil and i wanted to know if there are tests i should run on my car before i do anything?
also if it is a warped head or blown head gasket if i could use some sort of liquid (like the blue devil) to stop the leak and not have to spend $2,000 for a overhaul? also is there any other way that water can get in to my oil other then a blown head or head gasket? also is it possible that i can fix the problem myself?

sealers are useless and cause more issues. repair the problem.

have a leak down test performed to verify the cylinder of failure. have the head checked for cracks once it is off.
