To my knowledge (had several MD2 engines), there is not water passage that
would allow the water to get into the oil. However, that stated; there are two possible causes that I can think of. 1. The water pump is mounted on the crank case and there could be leaking pump seals. Actually that would mean that both seals are leaking and the weep hole is plugged. 2. The is a very remote possibility that the water passage between the head and the cylinder has a "leak-over" via a bad head gasket. This would mean that the water is finding it's way to the oil drain back passage where the push rods come up from the cam. Frankly, I think #1 is your source of water or it is due to condensation that is acculating in the crank case. (I have had this problem in my Entec gen set due to the alum. crankcase and infrequent useage.) If you need the manuals for this engine (owners or shop manual) I have them on my web site at http://hood.hctc.com/~esteve/private/manuals/ -- My opinion and experience.
