Water in my oil:'(
So i just found out my 4Runner has water in the oil Found out yesterday my starter was loose. CHecked that out and fixed it. Then got a new dipstick yesterday since when i bought the truck the one it had was broke inside. So i got a new one and checked my oil this morning and it looked like the coffee i just had. Sad Sad Sad day. Probably going to end up selling my truck....

I got stuck in a little ditch with the water about up to my doors. Idk.. I gotta check my oil and all that. More than likely I do have a blown head gasket And I wont be takin my truck through mud in a really long time

Possible blown head gasket and your going to sell? I call that a learning experience not a reason to sell, did you quite the first time you could not stand and walk?

Good News.. I hope. Drained my oil and flushed it. White smoke stopped except for the "cold weather" smoke and my oil cleared up. Could it have been oil seeped through my oil pan if some screws were missing and my gasket is possibly messed up. I also found out that my muffler was holding alot of water since the water was so high when i got stuck. I will work with my truck but the only thing is, is that money is tight right now. But more than likely im going to keep it because its starting to look like some oil just got in my oil pan. So I will keep you guys updated into tomorrow when i flush one more time and see if that fixes my problem. Thanks for all your support and if you see anything that i just said that turns on a light bulb lemme know. Thanks again.

Well there's the problem. You sucked in some of that muck water in to the oil pan.
All you have to do is repair the timing chain cover and head gasket and you're fine... maybe just replace the engine for 1000-2000 and wheel another 100K or so.
