Gawd, that looks 'orrible. :eek
Petrol and oil ought to be fully miscible in any proportion if I remember my O-level chemistry right, the emulsion requires the presence of water. If the coolant level is OK (and it's circulating), then maybe the water is combustion product... but if enough is getting past the piston rings to produce that much condensate then I'd have thought you see a fair amount of blue smoke from the exhaust as well.
Whatever... I agree with His Dudeness: an alternative mode of transport would be a good idea until you can find out what's going wrong.
