I have an 86 nissan d21 4x4 with a 3.0 and there is water in the radiator but none in the oil. Today the oil guage read low and no light came on. By the time I came home the valves or lifters started to make alot of noise. Whats the problem and what should I do. Any way to make it run till summer anyhow?Other than these large problem the rest of the truck is fine.

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge to rule out the oil pump

Could the oil pump being bad cause there to be oil in the water

An oil pump being defective is not the reason for water to be mixing with oil-causes here could be a blown headgasket, cracked head or block and intake leak-
