Had a small bit of oil in the driveway, got a bit on my finger and it seems like watered down oil I hope it ain't so. My car has been running better then great too Guess when I get a chance I'll have to change the oil and see whats up. When I change it in the shop we drain it into one of the drain pans for a lift and never really look at the oil, time for the ol' fashioned way, better start loosing the gut and chest so I don't get stuck...lol

Get the oil out and have a look at it,

If its a Chocolate Milk/Coffee Color then yup, Waters in the oil

Or if its just started, the oil may have a green "twang" to it,

You would know if theres anything in it.

yeah, you should be able to see it on the dipstick.
I've got allot of water in my oil right now, I'm pretty sure I have a leaking lower intake gasket. I'm going to tear into it tonight.
