i hate to let you know this but you have water in the oil pan which means that you may have a blown head gasket. the antifreeze is draining into the engine by draining into the cylinder or cylinders and dripping into the engine case. do not run the engine with this condition as it will seriously damage the engine. you may also have a crack in the water jacket inside the engine block which would allow antifreeze to drain into the engine case.
