Laganza engines: There is a 1/2" hole into the oil area just forward of the water pump impeller. It was never used for anything and it has a cast iron plug that rusts away allowing oil and water to mix. When the engine is cold there is no pressure on the cooling system allowing oil to flow freely into the water. As the engine warms up becomes near equal and very little water get in the oil. A head gasket or crack allows very little oil into the water. An excessive amount of oil in the water is found when this leak occurs. Testing pressures is useless

You have either a blown head gasket, blown intake manifold gasket, a cracked head, or a cracked engine block. Good luck finding parts for that vehicle.

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.

If you are getting water into the oil - then there is a good chance that you may have a blown head gasket. I would pressure test the cooling system and see if it shows a pressure leak.
you can also have the cylinders compression tested and see if there is a loss of compression in one or two of the cylinders.

there has be a fault in the assembly as the water is getting in past the water manifold into the intake to suck water in on top of the pistons do you have an operational back flow valve in the exhaust to stop water being sucked back into the engine past the open exhaust valves on shut down
are you running an oil cooler in the system that could be a reason for water in the sump oil if it is leaking

Water get into oil

Water in oil makes the oil go grey / milky or white . Check the cooling system by a pressure test and if it is holding then it will not be water in the oil.. If you are referring to transmission oil then the tan colour indicates burnt oil, and must be replaced. Water in that oil will also be a white cherry/ milky colour.

Refrase 1996 hyundai excel ,oil in water no water in sump oil.

Oil in the water is usually a sign of a head gasket leak, because the high pressure oil passes through to the head in order to lubricate the camshaft.
The oil return passages also go through the head gasket, but are too low pressure to usually cause any problem.
As long as there is no water in the oil or loss of water, I would keep driving it.
The oil in the water will not hurt anything. If it eventually gets worse and leaks water, then you will have to do the head gasket. Costs about $500.
Of you can do it yourself for about $75 if you know how to use a torque wrench.

I have filled the water reservoir several times a week. There is no leaks what could be wrong and where could the water be going?

Check the oil fill cap to see if there is any water or antifreeze leaking into the oil through a bad gasket in the engine. To much water getting into the oil will ultimately cause your engine to seize, ruining your engine. A light tan substance on the underside of the oil fill cap also is indicative of water getting into your oil.
