I have a customer with a W-6 that gets water, not antifreeze, in the oil every time it rains unless he tarps the engine. He has a rain cap on the exhaust and we have not been able to figure out how the water gets in. He just drains it off every time it rains and has had no problem with the engine for years. If water or condensation is left in the oil for any lenght of time it will eventually react with the byproducts of combustion that get by the rings and into the oil and product an acid that will atack engine bearings. I've seen this on a few grain trucks that are only used for short trips and do not get run warm enough to evaporate the water off.
