Welcome to KF.

since you have coolant in the oil? Hopefully you have not ran the engine long.

Dont ride it and drain the oil to get all of the water out of the engine. And remove the plugs and spray oil into the cylinders to keep your engine from rusting up until you get it fixed. And yes, it sounds like a blown head gasket. If you rebuild four wheeler motors, you should have the capability to replace a head gasket. Get a repair manual!
Above all...........Welcome to the forums!
