Water belongs in an engine. Now if you mean if there is water in the oil in an engine, this may mean that you have a blown head gasket. This needs repair before you drive the vehicle or it can do serious damage to the engine.

Water coming out the tailpipe means there is water in the exhaust. This is not uncommon when the engine is cold and the exhaust is condensing. That situation should stop when the engine warms up.

If a 3800 engine has milky oil what could be the problem?

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.
