Hi there.
Water in the engine - Water can get into your oil sump in two ways: ... Water in the oil- Coolant leak due to non-watertight seal (cylinder head gasket, etc.). If this happens, there is a leak and water is getting into the oil.
Water in engine oil
If you found water in oil car , this water engine car section is for you!
Water in car engine? Water should never be allowed to get into the oil in your engine or gearbox. Otherwise, it will result in significant foaming, dramatically reducing the product's lubrication properties.
Water in the engine - Water can get into your oil sump in two ways:

  • Water in car - Water condensation in cold air or combustion gases: this phenomenon is extremely rare and only occurs at specific temperatures.
  • Water in the oil - Coolant leak due to non-watertight seal (cylinder head gasket, etc.). If this happens, there is a leak and water is getting into the oil.
Water in motor oil can cause serious damage to your engine - the oil will be denatured and no longer effectively cooled.
Contact your repair centre as soon as possible.

SOURCE: water in oil

I have yet to see a cracked head on a 22R,so more than likely a blown head gasket,unless you overheated and warped the head and worst case a hole between the cylinder wall and water jacket(this is pretty rare).The only way to tell short of using some expensive tools or taking to your local shop is to pull the head and inspect the gasket for leakage wich is generally fairly obvious(separation of the gasket layers,oil and water between water and oil passages)and checking the head deck for warpage.If there is obvious leakage in the gasket you're looking at a top end gasket set if the head is slightly warped you can get away with a thick graphite head gasket,I personally use these as they are very forgiving on slightly warped and scratched head decks and inepensive also,but a severly warped head will require milling at a machine shop or replacement.

SOURCE: water/oil mixing in 22r engine

yes it can mix, also check the timing cover for rubs from the timing chain. this is the common problem with 22r. many mechanics will tell you its the block but they are just trying to make money.

SOURCE: my kia carnival 2001 keeps over heating,there is

You have air in the system that could have come from when you changed the thermostat. Or it could be caused from a blown head gasket. It is much more rare for a head to crack than it is for a head gasket to blow. Head gaskets will often leak in just one spot on some cars that spot is typicly between the water passage and the cylinder which causes hot combustion air to be forced into the water passage when that cylinder is on the compression or combustion stroke. A compression test will let you know if the head gasket is blown. If that isn't the problem you need to bleed the air out of the system. Does your heater work correctly blowing hot air? When bleeding the system you have to fill the radiator and the surge tank then turn the heater on to full hot.

Testimonial: "thank you so much, my heater does not work correctly all the time what does this mean"

SOURCE: Cracked Cylinder Head

I'd say moderately difficult: here are the instructions for replacing the head on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 4.0 L engine:

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION 4.0L Engines

  1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions in the beginning of this section.
  2. Drain the cooling system.
  3. Remove or disconnect the following:
    • Negative battery cable
    • Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) hoses
    • Air cleaner assembly
    • Accelerator cable
    • Cruise control cable, if equipped
    • Transmission cable, if equipped
    • Control cable bracket
    • Valve cover
    NOTE: Keep valvetrain components in order for reassembly.
    • Rocker arms
    • Pushrods
    • Accessory drive belt
    • A/C compressor and bracket, if equipped
    • Power steering pump and bracket, if equipped
    • Fuel line
    • Combination manifold
    • Thermostat housing coolant hoses
    • Spark plugs
    • Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor connector
    • Cylinder head
    To install: WARNING
    Cylinder head bolts may only be reused one time. If reusing a cylinder head bolt, place a paint mark on the bolt after installation. If a cylinder head bolt has a paint mark, discard it and use a new bolt. NOTE: Refer to Section 1 of this manual for the cylinder head torque sequence illustration. The illustration is located after the Torque Specification Chart.
  4. Install the cylinder head with a new gasket. Coat the threads of bolt No. 11 with Loctite® F 592 sealant. CAUTION
    During the final tightening sequence, bolt No. 11 will be tightened to a lower torque value than the rest of the bolts. Do not overtighten bolt No. 11.
  5. Tighten the cylinder head bolts, in sequence, as follows:
    1. Step 1: 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm)
    2. Step 2: 45 ft. lbs. (61 Nm)
    3. Step 3: 45 ft. lbs. (61 Nm)
    4. Step 4: Bolts 1–10 to 110 ft. lbs. (149 Nm)
    5. Step 5: Bolt 11 to 100 ft. lbs. (136 Nm)
    6. Step 6: Bolts 12–14 to 110 ft. lbs. (149 Nm)
    7. Step 7: Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6
  6. Install or connect the following:
    • ECT sensor connector
    • Spark plugs
    • Thermostat housing coolant hoses
    • Combination manifold
    • Fuel line
    • Power steering pump and bracket, if equipped
    • A/C compressor and bracket, if equipped
    • Accessory drive belt
    • Pushrods and rocker arms in their original positions
    • Valve cover
    • Control cable bracket
    • Transmission cable, if equipped
    • Cruise control cable, if equipped
    • Accelerator cable
    • Air cleaner assembly
    • CCV hoses
    • Negative battery cable
  7. Fill the cooling system.
  8. Start the engine and check for leaks.

I had this problem too. There is a restricting jet hammered into the block to reduce the oil flow to the head and increase the pressure to the main bearings, so the only place the oil pressure is higher than the water pressure is in the block. Apparently this is a known problem with the 3 cyl CB engine. The block is cracked. Greg

Nissan Note is mixing oil and water.

Was the oil drained after the overheating occurred? You may have contamination from just before overheating. Did you find the root cause for it? Low coolant / no coolant, stuck thermostat, failed water pump, etc.

Or

The cylinder head job was done badly, did they use a new gasket, did they torque the nuts correctly?

Or

The cylinder head is fine, but the block is cracked.

You could try Holts Wondarweld

Hi i want to a Pajero but the owner says that the water is getting mixed with oil,is this a cylinder problem

not necessarily
thee is an aluminium panel behind the water pump impeller that corrodes and lets water into the sump
have a compression test done to check head gaskets and then have a coolant system pressure test done

I have replaced a cylinder head of my Toyota corolla 160i 2002 sedan model and put new gasket but it's still mixing water with oil, I need help plz

The above are valid answers but knowing what is for sure eases the mind. Questions need answers. How quickly do you lose coolant? Offers an idea how big of a leak you have. Is the exhaust white with humidity? Points to cylinder leaks with possiblity of head leaks. Does a simple radiator pressure test reveal a dramatic loss of pressure with cold coolant? With oil pan off and pressure on the coolant, you may be able to spot the source from beneath or elsewhere. A clean engine may help spot the leaks forming. Through elimination & logic thinking I'm sure you can figure which direction to go. Good luck.

Vw bora v5 mixing oil with water at the expansion tank. what is the fault?

Most likely a cracked head. They are often difficult to see with the by eye and can be in places you cannot see. One thing though, do any of the head bolts extend into the water jacket? If so, when you install them you need to use a manufacturers recommended thread sealer on the bolts or water from the water jacket will wick up through the head bolt threads into the head itself.

Engine oil mixing into coolant

The only place, oil and water share a gasket is the cylinder head gasket, oil and water galleries run through the engine block and head via the head gasket. The cylinder pressure will be OK, it's the oil pressure that's putting the oil in the coolant, the gasket has gone between the water and oil galleries or there is an internal crack (unlikely). A coolant pressure test should show it up.

Can not be water pump, because that has a vent hole to the outside, and does not at all allow access to crankcase or cylinders. Oil cooler is also unlikely because oil is under more pressure than the water, and it would not get into the cylinder.
Water in the cylinder means up high.
That means head gasket or cracked head.
You can tell with a leak down test.
You borrow the gauge from a place like Autozone, and replace the water reservoir cap with it. Over pump it, about 30 psi. And watch for leaks. If same cylinder keeps filling, then you know where the bad gasket or head crack is. Diesels often crack heads. Not hard to do, but new head is not cheap. Probably $500 for part, $400 labor.

Water getting into oil

If its just condensation in the oil cap or dipstick, to some degree its normal. However if you have water in the oil and its very creamy in texture, its probably a head gasket leak, or cracked head. Its important to get it repaired soon, or total engine bearing failure will result.

OIL IN ANTIFREEZE

Everyone automatically assumes that oil and water mixing means a blown head gasket or cracked engine block. Of course common sense is usually not that common. Oil in coolant is a different problem than coolant in oil. The former is a low pressure leak, and could indicate only an intake manifold gasket. It could also be an early or small head gasket leak. Coolant in oil is usually a cracked block or torn head gasket, and has concomitant symptoms of white exhaust smoke and milky oil on dipstick. If you replace the head gasket and the problem persists, an intake gasket could have fixed the problem.
