Yes you have got water in with the oil, dont run it like this you need to get it repaired as you could do even more damage. Sounds like a seal or gasket has gone.

You can buy seal kits off ebay for most pumps for about €80. Its defo water getting into the oil though. If its not too bad you can work for a while by doing an oil change every day, but not recommended long term.
