So after finally driving the truck back home from installing the new water pump I shut it off and waited a bit before checking the oil. It didn't look right, looked a bit thin, possibly watery? I attached a photo of the dipstick. If this is water on the dipstick, I'm thinking it got in there from the old pump? That thing was spraying coolant pretty bad when it went, and I had to drive it about 7 miles like that till I got home. When I removed the old pump the two bottom bolts that you are supposed to permatex had a decent amount of oil on them. I put permatex on both the top two and bottom two bolts when I installed the new water pump. And come to think of it, a few days before the old water pump really started spewing I believe the oil on the dipstick looked similar... Should I just change the oil again and see how it looks? I just changed it about a month ago, had a free 5 gallon jug of renewable lubricants biosynthetic, going to suck seeing it go to waste!
