I thought about the oil cooler.......but you had stated that the oil was ok......so I didn't mention it. I had one of the O rings go bad on mine once.....but the oil did show signs of contamination.....plus it was high. Your water is going to be in the bottom of the pan.....it may not turn the oil milky with the volume we're talking about. Pull the drain plug, and drain about a quart......and see what it looks like.
