Rich is correct the fabricated engine blocks often leak a little and a little water in the oil can be delt with. However Glycol antifreeze that mixes with the oil breaks down at high temprature and forms a very hard carbon. When glycol contaminated oil gets into the piston ring grooves it will freeze the rings in place and thats it for the engine it will have to be rebuilt. I have seen automobile pistons aflicted this way and the rings could not be removed from the pistons without breaking them and possibly damaging the pistons.
