If ceack that is soldered is the area behind the carburator, that is one of the most common places for freeze damage to appear on these engines. It is in a water passage, so I wouldn't expect it to be a cause of oil and water mixing.

If that were my block, I'd clean it up and inspect it very carfully. If that is the only place it is damaged, I'd use it. There is no pressure on the cooling system, I've seen them "fixed" using epoxy, RTV silicone etc. as long as it doesn't leak, it should be OK. Check carefully on the deck of the block between cylinders, they crack there too, and that is a lot harder to fix.

The oil in the water could be as simple as a bad head gasket.

Good Luck!
