How much water?
 
Okay, i wanted to get your guys opinions on this.

How much water do you think can get in the oil before you should worry? I mean, is it alright to get a couple drips? A teaspoon? Tablespoon?

No im not pouring water in my oil, I was just curious. And so is my cat..........well he was, until he died:D

Whatever you do, don't let them mix!

What happened to your cat? And is cat short for Catalytic Converter or is cat as in furball with claws and fangs?

And it depends on what type of water...

Rain, tablespoon or two... Then it's time to get a new cap...

Condensation... Another tablespoon or two, time for a new PCV valve.

Either of those are cheap.

Coolant, Depends on if you wanna keep the car... How long... And available funds...

Couple table spoons then it's time to replace seals... Otherwise, drive it till the mains seize up and scrap it.

You're good... It'll boil off and get sucked out by the PCV system, provided it's intact.
