Take out the dipstick and hold a lighter under the tip.

Oil starts burning and wont stop --> Gasoline in oil.
Oil starts "boiling" and "popping" --> Water in oil.
Oil burns and fades out when lighter is removed --> Oil is just plain oil

Quite a good way to check the condition of an engine when buying a car.

Thats a nice bit of info, i'll remember that one for the future. Thanks
