Head Gasket maybe????

hey guys, well I think i mentioned that my car was running like shit after snapping my pully belt that goes from water pump to alternator then to crank.
well I took off the radiator cap and started refilling the coolant then started my car with the cap off, the car spits every little drop outta the radiator.
pretty sure the coolant level should drop at the cap when the thermostat opens ect.

is that a blown head gasket or something worse? thanks guys..

If you snapped the belt then the water pump wouldnt be doing much, possibly cooked it/headgasket at the same time?

Compression in the radiator certainly can be a headgasket

ahhh yea the oil is milky, well some of it around the valve springs.
Wondering where too buy a suitable head gasket from? just a standard head gasket direct from Nissan?
Do I need part number also?

Thanks guys
