I have serious doubts that oil could be getting into the coolant through the water pump. The oil would have to travel out of the crankcase through the oil seal on the impeller shaft, then through an air space of about 1/4" and then penetrate through the water seal into the coolant. Remember that when the engine is hot, the coolant is pressurized and if the seal was bad any oil would be forced AWAY by the pressure. Also the oil would be traveling upward against gravity. I seriously doubt this is possible.
YOU NEED TO DO A COMPRESSION CHECK TO SEE IF THE HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN OR THE HEAD IS CRACKED!
You DO NOT want to mess with the water pump unless it is absolutely necessary!
