bad piston rings or bad valve seals. valve seals are easy but time consuming to replace, while piston rings mean a total engine rebuild. sometimes, you can remove the sump, and get the pistons out from underneath.

What causes water in oil pan?

Usually a blown gasket, usually the head gasket. It creates a seal between the oil and the combustion chamber. When broken oil can leak in and you will have smokey exhaust and a dramatic drop in oil level, or exhaust gas (which includes H2O vapor) can mix with the oil. This is a very serious problem and can lead to severe engine damage.
