Looks like you have cracked a head. Try removing the spark plugs and cranking the engine. (make sure that you have water in the radiator) water will come out of the bad or affected cylinder.
Good Luck

How far do you drive the car? If you are starting the engine and driving only a mile or so and then shutting it off, you most likely have condensation in the oil. The oil is not getting hot enough to get rid of the water. Drive you can for longer periods of time, or let it run longer. If this is not the case, you probably have a blown head gasket. Sorry.

Start looking for a new car. Seriously. You either blew a head gasket or have a warped head. Either way you are looking at a major expense. If the car is under warranty you lucked out, if not you are looking at about a grand or two to fix it.
When you say water, is the oil milky colored after running the engine?

Sorry, bud, but this sounds like classic head problems. May be a cracked head or a blown head gasket. You need to get this replaced immediately. If and when you decide to di this yourself, make sure you purchase a new set of head bolts. The ones you have on your car right now have to torqued to the max and have been stretched and cannot be retorqued. Your engine must be flushed out (Bar's leak makes a great head sealer if you are looking for a temporary fix.) But I would go ahead and put a new gasket on and you are ready to ride!!

Others are correct about ONE possiblilty. It is also possible that you could just have an Intake Manifold Leak. This can also leak water into the crankcase oil. It could be any number of things. The important thing is...
DO NOT DRIVE IT LIKE THIS!!! The 'watered down oil' will KILL YOUR ENGINE!!! Have it towed to your mechanic for diagnosis. They will need to do a few tests to determine what is the problem. Good Luck! Most of these troubles are easily fixable, however, quite expensive!

You've got a blown head gasket or a cracked head (not you, personally, of course) and you'll have to have the head pulled to see which it is, then have it replaced.
You can do it yourself (honest) with a Haynes or Chilton's guide and the right tools.
