No, there is no 'quick fix' for a head gasket, and trying something like stopleak WILL make the problem worse. Also the longer you let it go without repairing it, the more extensive and therefor expensive the dammage will be.

Fix a head gasket on a 1991 Toyota hilux surf?
I think you will be very lucky if you get away with just a gasket, i recomend that when you have the head off have it pressure tested for cracks also to make sure it has not warped. Check the top of the block for any cracks between the bores , though this is unlikely , also i would have the radiator checked it would be silly to spend all that money and not find out why the gasket blew in the first place

Watery engine oil?
Water in the oil pan ( looks milky or creamy on the dipstick ) is indicative of a blown head gasket. If your head gasket is blown you may have warped the head, especially if the vehicle was overheated. The fix is to remove the head(s) and take it ( or them ) to a automotive machine shop to be inspected and possibly milled. While the shop is at it they should inspect the valves and replace any that are bad. When you get the head back you will need to reinstall it with new gaskets. This is a good time to replace your timing belt or chain ( and tensioners ) since you will have the thing apart anyway. If you continue to run the engine in this condition you will do serious harm to the engine.
