Engine Inquiry --> water residue on my dipstick

8 riders,

I was checking the engine oil yesterday and found water residue on my dipstick.
Somehow i feel that the coolant leaked in...Is that even possible?!?!
Is my engine going to die pretty soon?
Any thoughts on this???
Please help...

Thanks,

The sticky is like 4 posts above this... but, just to be helpful:

I'm pretty sure somewhere in the thread is a TSB on how to not have the dipstick do this if it bothers you that much.
