hi thank you for the question hope this help s

coolant in the oil is bad for the engine and will cause engine damage if not repaired

if water is getting into the oil this is a good sine that the head gasket,, or the intake gasket is blown. allowing the coolant to get in to the cylinder you should do a coolant presser test to be shore.. you can check the intake manifold dolts for torque
