Water in the oil cap is not the fault of the cylinder head gasket.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Oil pan

Video tutorial

In this video, we can see something truly disgusting; after having to open the oil cap of this car with a pneumatic hammer, the YouTuber drained the liquid into a container, but the liquid that came out was not oil, but water. The first thing that comes to mind in these cases is that the problem is a burnt head gasket that has allowed liquids to pass through, but this is not the issue: the problem was caused by a faulty water pump, which had a broken gasket and contaminated the oil in the cap that is in direct contact.

The car was overheating, and the hot air was not flowing.
