Water In My Oil
Went to the states came back and drove my cars noticed I had a leak from the bottom wear the cover is checked it it had a oil water mix feel to it..so checked my oil and it had water in it...looks like either a head gasket has gone bad or my valves any ideas i really don't trust the dealer here but we only have one in this area...i only have about 36000 miles on her. Now I hear a knocking sound from the engine bay

DO NOT DRIVE IT!!!!!
i had something similar happen on an e30, and the fucking thing pushed a rod through the engine block into the hood, locked up the rear wheels and spun me off the side of the road . The smell and smoke in the cabin was the worst part. Now that thing has an s52 in it

You found an oil leak rubbed it an it was watery? That's what your explanation sounds like, in which case you are obviously over reacting.
If you drained the oil and it had water in it, which would be obvious (no "feel") then yes you need to worry, but this doesn't sound like what you did.

Next refill your expansion tank and start the car, is it bubbling or smoking? No? You're probably fine. Finally if you really think you blew the headgasket then drain the oil in a container and let it settle in a glass. If there's enough water in it for it to "drip like it has water in it" then there will be enough water to be obvious. Most likely though you just overheated the car or the thermostat got stuck or something and caused it to boil over and you're just imagining thing with the oil.
