How can you tell if there is water in your oil?
Check the oil on your dipstick. If the engine is warm, the oil level will be high and look milky or light brownish. If the engine is cold, the oil level will be high and you will be able to see water droplets on the end of the dipstick. If the oil is mixed with the water it will be grey. If not the water will be at the bottom.
