tow it to your mechanic.......FIRST..is the coolant mixing with the oil? (light brown milky looking oil) if water is in oil, how far was it driven like that? there is the possibility that the engine bearings were damaged if water is in oil and it was run very long like that...i have purchased cars that need head gasket replaced, fixed them only to have the engine start knocking in a day or 2......this is a big job that requires more than a little mechanical experience....this job requires removing the valve cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, it is an overhead cam engine so you will have to reset the timing, i usually mark timing so i can put timing back without having to find top-dead center on #1 cylinder (big pain to reset timing if your not careful) you will need to have the head checked for cracks and warpage (at your local automotive machine shop) and if its not cracked they will resurface to ensure its not warped. if its cracked it will most likely have to be replaced, some shops can repair certain cracks but it might be cheaper to replace..when you put head back on you will need the head bolt re-torque specs and bolt tightening sequence...a chilton manual will give specific removal instructions and head bolt re-tightening specs if you dare...

should you drain oil in the car if the head gasket is blow
To change the valve cover gasket on a 2004 Suzuki Forenza, first, disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the valve cover, such as the air intake or ignition coils. Unbolt the valve cover and gently lift it off, taking care not to damage any surrounding components. Remove the old gasket, clean the surfaces thoroughly, then place the new gasket in position. Reassemble by reversing the disassembly steps, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.
