Default antifreeze in my oil

hey guys had a rough couple weeks on the wheelers, i had the roller cage break in my 800 now the cdi box on my 700. on to the post i have always noticed since i bought the 700 back in sept that i had a minor antifreeze leak but could never see it dripping so i read some posts where that year which is 02 had a water pump leak. i assumed that was my problem, but when i brought it in to get checked out found water in the oil, my question is will the old style waterpump leak water in the oil or is it much worst? any help would be great thanks

as far as i know if the seals leak it goes into the oil. kinda like the old 400 motors. if you dont keep an eye on the counterbalance oil the water will fill that area up and push all the oil out.
