VC60D water in oil

Hi Folks

Working on this machine and it seems to have an X1NP motor. There is water in the oil and it smells like antifreeze in the exhaust. just draining the oil now for a change to see how fast it's getting in there. coolant level didn't go down that I can see but I'm only looking at the plastic bottle. It's embarrassing but I can't seem to get a spark plug socket onto the spark plugs to see if they are steam cleaned. My thinking is to check for water in the cylinders/ change the oil and see how fast it's coming in and if it's just condensation (doubtful) then look for a new engine. This is an LPG unit is there any other engine I can fit in there that's maybe a little more robust?
