Is there any gasket in the water pump that can produce the same effect?

Thanks!
You've DEFINITLY got a blown head gasket. If the running engine is spraying water out of the oil fill cap, stop running the engine. It's time to fix it, not run it more and risk spinning bearings. That's what happens when the oil gets mixed with water.

Can you say lotsa $?
