Dear Barners,
Recently member 66Miles posted a thread about water in the oil. Several of us joined the discussion about possibilities for how the water could be getting in there.

As I would like to limit this discussion to failed head gaskets, I am starting this thread to learn from those of you who have had ACTUAL experience with this and may KNOW if water gets in the oil this way.

I have read theories that say water CAN'T get into the oil from a breached head gasket, but several have posted otherwise that the replaced gasket solved the problem (the assumption is it was a permanent fix).

If you have solved this problem by changing a head gasket, would you please share your experience(s)?

Many thanks, Alex
