Oil and water

Hello again, to be fair love this site it’s a good read and I find so much information. Loads of advice so far.
now I need some more please. I’ve noticed for a little while now I have a leak and I could be wrong but think it’s coming from the lower neck of the oil filler.
but there’s a lot of moister/water mixed in with it and it’s easy to see the next day on my driveway.
I check the oil and water daily and yes when I hammer her she drinks more oil but that’s the norm.
worried about oil water seals. Compression is spot on no issues and drives like a dream.
Any ideas.
thanks
Jamie

just going off of ur userID(profile didn't help), i'm guessing u have an FC? but seeing as the engine is basically the same, the oil leak, if not the filter itself, will possibly be the O-rimgs that seal the pedestal to the rear housing. water leak in that general area could be the heater hose going into the rear housing. temp sensor maybe but i've never seen one leak.

You sure it’s not related to your earlier issue thread?

Good point.

Yes I did think that but That ended up being the turbos. This is down one side. The oil I can deal with it’s the water mix I am worried about.
thanks
jamie.
