Why is water coming out of ccv hose?

Ok so i just finished replacing both my head gaskets, put everything back on and water is still coming out of my ccv. before replacing i had water in my oil, over heating, and steam out of the exhaust. dont laugh but im a broke a** college student and pulled money out of couches to fix my car. sooo i still havnt changed the watered oil. theres no more over heating or steamed exhaust (could be because i unplug the ccv from the tb) but water is still coming out of the ccv. so my question is, when oil is at high temp does the water and oil start to separate causing water vapor to rise then leave the valve area? im just asking before i change the oil again and waste more money. thanks in advance

Do not even try to rationalize if its normal for water to separate from oil under heat. The important thing is to NOT run the engine until you change the oil and filter. If you keep that up..you better have lots of couches to dig money out of.

Starting an engine with water in the oil is a good way to buy a new engine.

Swap the oil, check the issue. Cheap oil is cheap, one you get it figured out put good oil back in.

Can I chuckle a little? Dude, change the oil or you'll be walking.
