Trouble shooting help

Changed my oil and I it appeared to have a little water in it. This past week we had major flooding(over my knees in the road) it was low on coolant but it probably low anyway, there wasn’t an no more than 5 quarts in of oil when I drained it, noticed a little steam we I start it, it still runs the same, it doesn’t get hot, the new oil doesn’t seem watery to bad( maybe resadue) could water possibly got in the motor some place other than the head gasket?

If your oil pan gasket is less than perfect, water could have gotten there.

Doubtful the flood has anything to do with water in oil.
