Wondering why my leg is leaking quite a bit of oil from the water intake..?

for what it's worth my air intake is cracked and my engine took on a bit of water and I drained it into that drain pan. then I noticed oil coming out of my leg...?

Ayuh,.... The drain, 'n vent are 3/8" - 16,.....

I use the end off a drive oil fill pump,....

The drive has to be drained 1st,....
If ya split the upper, 'n lower, a cork or rubber stopper can be used to plug the oil passage 'tween 'em,.....
