The front one was wet already and barely tightened again a bad gasket. But I can't say it wa wet due to a bad gasket. When I removed the oil cooler maybe I splashed coolant on the block surface you know? Rebuilt the oil cooler found bad o rings. Out it back in filled resivoir and let it sit for 48 hours or so and the water level never changed. Pulled the injectors and found bad o rings so I re did them all. Now I have been fighting with getting the left over water out and let me show you what I did to get most of it out.

The oil pressure sensor for the dah is on top of the hpop resivoir right? Mine oil gauge works only after I crank it for a while.... Almost like there's no oil there and I have to pump it up

That's how I got all that nasty crap out of the motor. Both plugs were off when I did this yes there was oil in the engine I did this until clean oil came out.
