I would probably pull the pan off and check the main bearings for corrosion before doing anything else. If they look good, then pour the oil you drained back in and run it.

If when cold the water is indeed at the bottom of the sump then just drain about 1/2 -1 litre of oil. I would think anything other than that would be going overboard. Then again we're on a site where overboard is commonplace. Or just run it at full operating temp for a while. Good luckI have

About 100 ish miles, hasn't blown up ( yet )It's already been burned off if you drove it quite awhile at full operating temperature.
Can’t imagine how this happened but if water is allowed into the engine there is probably a fair assumption that some careless activities are occurring with this car anyway…Don't ask me how, but i managed to drop about 20-25ml ( 0.6 fl oz ) of water into the oil of my 1988 Ford Escort XR3i ( sump capacity 3.7L ish )
Should i change it? i only changed the oil about 1200 miles ago...
I was changig the rocker cover gasket, i opened a bottle of water and accidentally spilled someCan’t imagine how this happened but if water is allowed into the engine there is probably a fair assumption that some careless activities are occurring with this car anyway…
Run it and forget about it.
This is silly.
Exactly! Water is a natural byproduct of combustion.This is a very small amount of water. Just keep running it. Engines are not hermetically sealed to water. Burning gas creates water, blowby when the engine is cold condenses a small amount of water into the crankcase. In cold climates many vehicles will see water buildup on the oil cap due to the moisture in the crankcase.
Just run the engine. getting the engine oil up to temp with a working crankcase ventilation will pull all the water out in no time.
Oil filter has already taken care of that.Since you had the rocker cover off you now have two reasons to change the oil (possible dust contamination). I would change the oil.
