"Just bought a 90 Welcraft 196

"Just bought a 90 Welcraft 196 with 4.3 v6 at a local repo auction. Bought as a restoration project. Before purchased, noticed water in oil pan. Also water in Power steering reservoir. One soft plug was missing. No exterior signs of cracked block, manifold, risers etc. Drained and refilled with fresh oil. Replaced soft plug. Motor starts and runs very smooth.....except notice oil dripping out of exhaust hub when reaches operating temperature. Compression is normal in all cylinders. I'm thinking the previous owner may have put water in the engine which may also account for the water in the power steering pump. Any thoughts on how to diagnose the oil issue before I pull the engine??? Any ideas would be appreciated.
