Its water from your radiator getting into your oil.....if you check you dip stick and you see white....its water...friend had same problem and he had to pull motor and tear it apart and clean it from block to top of head and of course replace head gasket.
Goodluck

You get a compression tester from an auto parts store and use it. You can take it somewhere and have it done as well, you may as well just do that as i don't think you will be doing the work yourself anyway. If your oil is ok then it's probably not be your headgasket, see if you have any blow by.
