? Water (presumably coolant) in oil pan should have mixed and made a creamy oil rather quickly. Overheating is probably low on coolant in the engine not just where you add. I'd be checking out head gasket problems on this. Don't allow it to overheat or it will just get worse,

You also want to look hard at the intake manifold gasket. That can also leak coolant into the oil and it is very common on that engine.
