    depends on the amount of water. if it isnt much (drops) it wont be a problem. larger amounts can cause a problem simply because it doesnt "squeeze" like fuel does under compression.

    drain the float bowels drain the water out of the engine before cranking

    (oil floats water sinks it will be on the bottom near the drain plug, until you crank it)
