Could also be the seals on the bottom of the sleeves. Maybe an internal leak in a heat exchanger although that usually ends up with oil in the water.
PhilC - ok that's interesting to know (and would go on the "major" list).
RED Flags - How Much Water is in the Oil? How Much has it run with water in the oil? Any bubbles in radiator?
Bearings and Water are not very compatible - you might be looking at a Major Overhaul anyway you go,
As with anything - you should fully access the condition of the entire machine - Sometimes CHEAP means, I want more than junk price and rid myself of a headache!

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
a family friend had a issue with her benz and water getting to the oil, we added a bottle of nulon engine sealer and it fixed it so some times they are a easy fix. yes many mechanic in a bottle remedies are just band-aid solutions.
really untill you see the machine you cant tell anything. it might be simple it might be a full rebuild.
Trainzkid88 - true, from what has been said though, I have a feeling that assuming it will be a full rebuild is the safe assumption.

Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
