Haven't seen this one before

We are pulling apart a BoxsterS engine for another issue and discovered a new one

I see water in the oil, pull apart engine, I see intermix primarily in the crankcase

How in the heck (say that with a redneck undertone) do we have water in the oil (typically its oil in the water) This means water is leaking into the engine somehow. We have seen in the past casting plugs in the heads fall out and DUMP water into the system, but typically these are engines that have oil in the water also (cracked 3.2/3.4 heads) They like to crack near these casting plugs (most people call them freeze plugs) but the heads looked great!!

Here is why we had water in the oil, but little to no coolant lost in the system:





No bueno





The brown sealant is from Porsche
