No the oil pan is sealed,unless you had a major hole. But you would have also had a oil leak.Water in oil is a sign of either a intake gasket or head gasket leak.
I always advise people to start with the cheapest solution and work towards more expensive things in situations like this. First thing I do when a car becomes sluggish is replace spark plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, and change the oil. that should fix your problems I don't think you have any major issues
the small amount of oil found is just an oil mist from the manifold that is drawn up while the car is running.this is not uncommon and a small amount is nothing to be concerned.
1. Improper water circulation: Sometimes, eventhough you are sure that you have enough water on your radiator, your car still overheats. It might probably be that the water is cannot circulate properly, which results to improper cooling process. There are several reasons for this which you can discover by yourself.
To verify if the water circulates properly, start your engine without the radiator cap. If water circulation is good, you should notice that the water pops smoothly over the top but still retains the amount. Another way to check, detach one of the ends of your radiator hose from your radiator and see if water flows continously over. If water doesn’t circulates well, check the thermostat if it’s open. It should be open, meaning clean, and the water can pass through it. If thermostat is clean and still the water doesn’t circulate properly, then you have to check the water pump. That’s probably where the problem is. A little leak on the pump will cause improper flow of water through the radiator system. If you are sure that the problem is not about water circulation, another thing you can consider is check the engine oil. Very low amount of oil can cause greater friction of the mechanical system of your engine. If it’s not time to change oil yet, you can add over some amount of oil until advisable amount is reached. While we can’t be always sure about our engine, especially if it’s not new, we should be prepared when it happens. Bringing extra gallon of water in your trunk will surely help.
since it was such a small amount of anti freeze and water,anti freeze has a petrolem base and water would have sunk to the bottom of oil pan, change oil and filter and you should be ok
have seen new fuel filters not seal properly, due to warpage of seal flange gets bent when removing old over tight filters, check both filter & water trap, also bleed bolts on filter housing, use clear plastic hose between components to find where air ingress is coming from
