Is this a 91 up 2.1L motor? If so ...Look real close at the area between the lower water jacket and sealing ring area of the head gasket on #1 cylinder. Its a big problem area as it erodes a gap in the BLOCK. If so ... I can fix it without replacement of the block.
The water in the oil. I usually change it and the filter 3 times before the mess clears up. The first time I start it up and let it run till the fans cycle and dont drive it except to move out of the way. While the oil is HOT ...change it. The second and third time I drive it 5 miles on second change and 20 miles on third. After this take a long drive and let the PCV do its job. Any residule moisture should raise to the top of the valve cover and get pulled out through the PCV niple while the motor is running. Make sure the niple is not plugged at the little hose.
