Water can be in the oil from a variety of causes.
Find the source first.
Yes it can be repaired. Depending on severity, could be cost of a head gasket up to a new short engine and turbo, especially if you continue to run it with water in the oil.
I believe they are prone to cracking the blocks, possibly down to stresses from the design, where the crankcase is part of the frame. They got around this problem with the "criss-cross" blocks which were stiffer. I would have thought yours was late enough to have that later casting.
