I have a 96 Chevy PU Truck with a 5L engine. Water is getting into the oil pan. I have pulled all the spark plugs and none of them show any signs of water. Where else could it be coming from?

The piston liners on one of the cylinders is leaking better of buying new engine or pull motor and have it resleeved

If you have water in your oil and it doesn't smoke then it's probably a simple intake gasket... or a cracked block.. if it smokes then your in trouble... I drove a car with water in the oil for thousands of miles and still runs great... I just change the oil every 800 miles...

Does this truck have an engine oil cooler?
How much water? Water or Antifreeze?
Do you have any oil in your radiator?
Have you drained the oil pan and seen the oil?

Could be a gasket or cracked block
