Water in oil?

[Vega1447]

Hi all.
I siphoned anti-freeze into engine recently - using a bucket to
gravity-feed it down to the inlet then starting engine.
I noticed a "blob" of oil emerge from the exhaust outlet (and go into
the water to my shame).

Do this mean that the seal keeping water out of the engine has failed?
(Due to excessive "head" of inlet water, 1 meter??)

I'll check the engine oil for signs of emulsification next time I'm out.

If I have to replace the seal, which seal is it & how difficult to replace?

(I have a set of MD6 seals).

Thanks

John, I never siphon antifreeze Into my engine. I take the hose off
the through hull and drop the intake hose into the antifreeze. I run
the engine and let it pump the antifreeze through. This lets the
exhaust gases blow the excess antifreeze out the stern. IF you pour
antifreeze in it can get high enough in the exhaust to enter the
engine through an open exhaust valve. There is no seal to keep
water out of the engine except at the water pump and that is only to
keep water leaking from the pump entering wile the engine is
running.
