    does anybody out there know an easy way to tell if the
    water in my oil comes from a cracked block, cracked head,
    or a blown head gasket? Of course I suppose it's possible
    that something else could be causing this, but I don't know 
    what. 

    The car is an 1980 omega :-( and has been a real problem
    but, alas, it was my only way to work. Any help would be
    greatly appreciated. I want to avoid taking the head off
    if I can tell beforehand that the block is the problem.
