When I managed to do this

it required several oil changes before new oil didn't turn manky.
So keep changing the oil until the problem goes away. |

Fill it with cheap engine oil and run on that. If not shitty immediately, run for a few miles and re-check. If still good run a few days then drain and refill with they quality of your choosing.
If it goes shitty immediately consider a new filter too. Or remove and drain the one that's on it.
Or worst case it's the head gasket. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

It is likely water residue in the system.
Cheap 'flushing' oil is available, and you are recommended NOT to ride on the stuff, just let the engine idle and warm and pump it through before drain.
Cheap is relative though... essentially its a low grade oil without so many addatives chucked in, except some extra deturgent.... washing up liquid....
Cheap engine oil, thinned a bit with deseasil and with some washing up liquid added, would probably do the same thing, and cost less....
I'd not be inclined to RUN an engine with neat deseasil in the sump... its very thin compared to oil!
Washing up liquid is an emulsifier... usually go get oil to mix with water when you do the dishes... but works t'other ways about too, getting water to mix with oil when you run engine.
I'd be tempted to pop a bit in the radiator too to flush crap and any oil contamination there, too.... then do a fluid flush and change.
But post flush, keep an eye on it; there may be or have been a weeping seal behind water pump or similar letting the two fluids mix; (And potential remains that a replacement pump could do the same, because of crap after-market pattern-part quality and or mechanic assembly error) or could just be accumulation of condensation in an engine not really run hard enough and long enough to ever boil it off.... BUT... we don't really know,, so keep an eye on it. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
