Best Answer

Water in the oil pan ( looks milky or creamy on the dipstick ) is indicative of a blown head gasket. If your head gasket is blown you may have warped the head, especially if the vehicle was overheated. The fix is to remove the head(s) and take it ( or them ) to a automotive machine shop to be inspected and possibly milled. While the shop is at it they should inspect the valves and replace any that are bad. When you get the head back you will need to reinstall it with new gaskets. This is a good time to replace your timing belt or chain ( and tensioners ) since you will have the thing apart anyway. If you continue to run the engine in this condition you will do serious harm to the engine.

Why is your oil in your car watery?

If you mean thin, oil breaks down with heat and wear. It needs to be changed every 2-3 thousand miles. It can also be from fuel getting into the crankcase. Either from a bad fuel pump if it has a mechanical pump on the engine or from too much fuel being put into the engine either by a bad carburetor or injectors. If it is milky that is water in the oil probably from a head gasket.

There is no engine oil drain plug, you change the oil in the oil reservoir under the seat. This motor is a dry sump system, meaning that there is no engine oil pan. The engine oil is circulated from an external oil tank via oil lines to an oil pump bolted to the engine on the right side of engine
