Some Nissans have a bleeder port to remove air from the system. I'm not sure where they are on your car. Sorry I can't give you the location. Am willing to check if you need me to.
The only place, oil and water share a gasket is the cylinder head gasket, oil and water galleries run through the engine block and head via the head gasket. The cylinder pressure will be OK, it's the oil pressure that's putting the oil in the coolant, the gasket has gone between the water and oil galleries or there is an internal crack (unlikely). A coolant pressure test should show it up.
From what you describe, it sounds like your water pump is not circulating the water. But it doesn't sound like you have a blown head gasket or a cracked block at this point. But if you continue to drive the car, that could change.
Do you seem to have good circulation through the radiator normal? Sometimes, the radiator will get gunked up, and then very little coolant can get through it. Which is a possibility, but I would still suspect the water pump first.
seems to be water mixed with oil check engine oil remove dipstick and check how the oil condition if the oil same as soon as possible get in to experience technician to find how the water mixed with oil possibly by the oil cooler, is this information helped you? please vote me and leave a comment.
Whatever you do, do not drive.
I got the same problem about 4 hours ago and tried to get home.
Half way, no oil pressure, overheat, silly noise from the engine.

Timing - engine is not sounding right or back firing. Head gasket - water and oil mixing, see inside water bottle. or open bottle. rev engine when cold, if starts spitting water out while cold like a fountain. Water pump - Water leaking from side of engine. or when car started and water bottle is open and no circulation is visible could be signs of water pump Remember - Block radiator lines can also cause over heating problems and lack of water circulation.
