I have a problem with my 1984

I have a problem with my 1984 Mercury XD. I started my motor for the first time this year and after about 10 mins of idleing the water in my garbage can started to get very milky with oil yet the motor continued to run perfectly. I assumed it was a leaky seal in the gear box but I drained the oil and it wasn't milky at all. Is it possible to have a bad seal without getting any water in the gear box? Does anyone have any suggestions? I was using an old gas and oil mixture from last year could this be the problem?
