Cold be either - one kinda of inexpensive while the other probably
very expensive as only a replacement head will do.
But does water in the oil mean head gasket or cracked head?
If the car has not been driven much in a while
300D or
SD/SDL could be mighty fine, too.

A bit more than half of that on the current head gasket...

I'm guessing that unless the leak in the engine put pressure into the cooling
system faster than the pressure cap could vent it, the failed hose
Yep; head gasket and bunch of other stuff replaced at ~80 kmi.

If the car has not been driven much in a while it could be condensation
as a outside chance. Unlikely but when a
stuff in the crankcase is the water missing from the cooling system. ;)

Interesting. So do head gaskets fail suddenly rather than gradually in the
rodbender scenarios? Could the fact that you caught it early have saved
the engine from bending a rod? If I recall correctly the problem happens
at no.1 cylinder. Will you do
