I get a lot of water in my oil as the block has hairline cracks at the floor of the water jacket. Eventually I'll try a couple inches of bloc fill to fix it.
For now various stop leaks keep it under control. But when sitting for a long time it gets the drip drip.
I built a water trap by replacing the drain plug with a 12mm hose barb fitting. A high temp clear hose about 2' long attaches to that. 3/8 over barb and 7/8 over the 3/8 to get a bigger tube that will hold more water. I guessing about 1/2 cup. Then a barbed 1/4 turn valve at the end of the hose. Before I take a ride I'll visually inspect the hose for water/antifreeze and drain off if necessary. Like they do on airplane gas tanks before flight.
