Default yay ive got a warped block!

so i check my oil before i leave to go to town (2miles) it was a little low so i go to walmart and buy 1qt. walking back to the truck i parked under a huge puddle and i think to myself, "looks like the bp oil spill" the water was all blue and green like when it mixes with water. pull the dipstick, bone dry! i pour the qt in and nothing, i can see it dripping from the head.
