Pump seals rarely fail and when they do, you can see coolant leaking out through a hole in the pump body.
It seems that your head gasket is fried and/or your head is warped (common things that happen when coolant runs extremely low), but it could be something else as well that allows pressurized coolant flowing onto the oil.

I don't really have the facilities to take apart my engine since I assume I have to take the engine out and apart to replace the gasket. Should I just take it to a mechanic at this point or are there some other tests I can do to check if it's blown?

I wish I could provide pictures of either, I could only do the bare minimum as the cosmetic repairs/ tire replacements were (and maybe still are) out of my budget at the moment.
I may even end up having a shop patch my tire until I can save up enough to buy some new tires :/
Hopefully once I become more financially independent after I graduate I can do some real work on my bike
