A visible sheen can be detected at around 60 ppm oil.
Visually oil sheen tends to have a rainbow of colors and the sheen edges tend to be smooth and gracefully curved. Mineral sheen tends to be silver in color with jagged edges and fractures running through the sheen. As oil sheen ages and the oils degrade it becomes more and more difficult to differentiate between oil and mineral sheens because the oils tend to take on the appearance of mineral sheen.
The presence of oil can be detected by conducting tests such as visual inspection for oil sheen, using a hydrocarbon detector, sampling the water or soil for laboratory analysis, or using remote sensing technologies like aerial surveys or satellite imaging to detect oil spills.
The oil and water would separate (oil is lighter than water, thus it would float upon the water) Therefore the oil could catch fire and burn until it was all burned without the water putting it out
Crude oil can cause environmental problems when spilled, as it can harm wildlife and ecosystems. It can also contribute to air and water pollution when burned or leaked into water sources. Additionally, the extraction and transportation of crude oil can have negative impacts on local communities and indigenous populations.
Fires caused by oil cannot be extinguished by water because oil is less dense than water and floats on top of it. When water is used on an oil fire, it can spread the fire by carrying the burning oil with it and causing the fire to become more intense. Additionally, the high temperatures of an oil fire can cause the water to vaporize quickly, creating steam that can disperse the burning oil and make the fire harder to control.

Oil on top of water will settle as a thin layer, and the thickness of the layer will, due to an optical phenomena called interference, cause the thin layer to shimmer in different colors.
The oil-like sheen on a salt marsh is often caused by oil or fuel spills, which can harm the vegetation and wildlife in the area. It disrupts the delicate balance of the ecosystem and can have long-lasting negative effects on the environment. Clean-up efforts are required to minimize the impact of oil contamination on the salt marsh.
No it will not cause coalescence. Water separates from oil they do not mix or combine
They include flat (matte), satin, semi- and hi gloss. It depends on if it is oil or water based. Varnish & stains offer different sheen options, also.
intake manifold gasket if it is coolant in the oil
Wash it. Most will go away with hot water and washing-up liquid. Get the last sheen off using a degreaser.
Some stones will use oil, some water. If you use oil, you have to use oil from then on.
No, if you have oil in your oil pan, you have other problems. It has nothing to do with your water pump going out or being bad.
It can cause your oil cap to blow right off, foam around the oil cap is more likely to be water or coolant. Get it checked right away because it can damage your engine. It's usually a sign of a bad head gasket, it lets water into the oil and oil into the water. Check your radiator to see if there is oil in the water and if the water is low.
Your really should never put more oil then needed into anything no extra oil will not cause water to get in you obviously have a bad seal somewhere below the water line
Vegetable oil does not cause rust. It is slightly acidic, its similar to a lubricant and it can prevent rust.
