If there is water in your engine crankcase (noticed from dipstick), it
could mean cracked head, cracked block, bad head gasket, etc.  In the
Sarges' case, it may not be a problem (QSHIPQ's comment awaiting
verification) if the water is from a source other than the engine
coolant.  When coolant is in 'yer motor oil,
the path that lead it there could be a VERY expensive fix.
