Oil in Coolant

My coolant light came on and when I went to add the coolant I found a puddle of oil in my coolant tank. I also found that the radiator was leaking, possibly a hose, I couldnt tell, everything was oily. I have never noticed the engine overheating , but the low oil light has come on a few times and I filled the oil back up almost immediately (It has 2 major oil leaks).

I know this sounds like a head gasket or warped head, but please tell me it isn't. )

This is my only vehicle and college starts back in 2 days. Could someone please advise me on how I can still drive it (what can be done as a temp fix, such as draining coolant once a week) and the least expensive but lasting fix.

I am an OK shade-tree mechanic, but head work scares me. I have never pulled a head off of any vehicle, let alone a mercedes.

Selling the car is really not an option because I have already spent about 1500 dollars on other parts and I just feel I wouldnt be able to get that much for it.

Thanks in advance

Michael
