As I was getting ready to drive the 914 to work, for the first time since I rebuilt the motor, I checked the oil and noticed beads of water on the dip stick. It rained pretty heavy yesterday and I belive water got in vent on the oil fill tower. Am I screwed? Am I going to need to pull the motor back apart?

Carb "hats" are readily available from one of us (Morph), and the breather/filler assembly, by law, is supposed to be vented into the air cleaner. (It's been the law since 1965.) If that's done, there's no way water can enter the closed system, unless maybe the car's submerged!
