2006 1.4 petrol vauxhall astra - i think the oil and the water is mixing - b4bby

i have an astra 1.4 petrol 2006 plate i recently was driving the car and it was misfirng and when i put my foot down it was sluggish at driving. when i went home parked the car let the car cool down popped the bonnet to find no water at all in in water pump so i filled it up then checked the oil stick and to my horror there was creamy muck on the cap and the stick was dripping like mad and it sure did not look like oil i think its mixing can somebody tell me whats going on here please
