Well, my dad was doing something with my car and decided to check the oil and told me he thinks I've got water in my oil. Never really had any motor troubles from any of our cars, however I do know water in the oil is very bad. Bad enough I recall seeing something like an '01 Cadillac Deville with 85k that had water in the oil going for like $3,000. Doesn't it basically ruin the motor?

water or coolant?
most likely from an intake gasket leak. very common problem with this motor.

you can also get water in your oil from condensation from doing many short trips. only way to fix this is take her for a long drive to heat up the water so it evaporates. next sunday haul ass for 3 hours on the free way and have some fun razz
