water in oil pan

i recently bought a 87 350 for 200 bucks with 87,000 miles on it and i disassembled it and there was a little water in the oil pan and in the space between the intake and cam. he had the holes drilled out on the intake for the newer heads so i think the water got in there. is this bad or should i just clean it up.

Re: water in oil pan

Yeah man, you would be worrying if it was foamy oil (water IN the oil WHILE RUNNING). Sitting water is just a leak somewhere while it was sitting.
