Oil in coolant

Today I was adding windshield washer fluid to my wife's 1995 9000 V6 (I know it's a 9000 but the best advice on the V6 is here) when I discovered brownish mud overflowing from the coolant expansion tank and the oil just barely registering on the dip stick for the crankcase. I believe this just occurred in the last 2 days because the overflowing of the expansion tank had not when I added windshield washer fluid 2 days ago. In searching for similar posts it seems the most likely candidate is a head gasket leak allowing the oil to flow into the coolant. I haven't determined if there is any coolant in the oil yet.
Two questions, 1) is there any other likely cause for this besides the head gasket 2) how much will this cost to fix?
Thanks,
Jeff
