2001 Mustang V6

I have a milky white leak coming from the oil pressure sensor. Does the oil pump come in contact with any water? Where else could the water be mixing with my oil? I thought it was the head gaskets because there was a small amount of water in the oil so I replaced them about 2 weeks ago. The problem is getting worse and when the engine is running it runs out of the back of the sensor pretty quickly. I just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions before I tear off the water pump timing chain cover and oil pump.

How's the oil look on the dipstick? If that oil is clean then there has to be some sort of leak in between the timing chain cover and water pump area.Maybe one of the water pump bolts (the far right one that goes into the block).

check your oil conditon from the dipstick.Run the engine for a little while and then check it a couple times.I cant see any real means of water getting in the oil if your head gasket is fine.
