So I just bought this car Tuesday. Checked all the fluids before I bought it. Oil looked brand new. Drove and ran fine. Drove it home that day and to work and back Wednesday. Thursday took it to Odessa, I live in crane, and overheated badly and left me and my 4 yr old daughter stranded. Anywho got some help added coolant and headed home. Filled it up and it ran fine all the way. Checked the oil and it's obviously got water in it. Guess my question is what is the problem? It doesn't smoke at all. Not on start up under a load nothing. Any info that I'm sure I'm leaving out lemme know. Thanks for the help in advance. I did a search and they all said something about smoking if it's a head gasket.
 
The most common way for you to get water in your oil is your head gasket. If it over heated it could have possibly blown your head gasket and thus now you have water mixing with your oil. I wouldn't drive it anymore until you check it out. Hopefully you can check that out and it helps solve your problem.
 
Yup bro blown head gasket get a cometic or a mitsubishi MLS it has 4 layers of metal and is pretty good for boosting. Have someone check it i got head that is turbo i can sell it to you bro but has bent vales but since maybe is yours is cracked and you can used mind and get the machine shop switch your vales to my head and you be good my is not crack is good but has bent thats all ill take 80 for or best offer
 
Very strong likelihood that it's a headgasket. It is possible for only a small portion of the gasket to become damaged and/or no longer seal properly which would allow for fluids to mix without generating smoke from it burning in the combustion chamber.
 
Thank you very much kind sir's. Just noticed I put the towns I drove to as I'm sure y'all have no idea how far that is. Also posted on a local forum. Ha. Anywho I saw a couple recommendations for gaskets. I don't really plan on upping the boost on this thing as I bought it for a dd to save gas. Long commute everyday. What do u guys suggest and where's the best place to buy it? Anything else I should replace while it's cracked open? I'll gave the head necked for cracks and make sure the surface is true.
