Hi I have a 1997 hyundai accent with the stock sohc 1.5L engine and the problem is that it overheats and for some reason water is leaking in the oil does anyone have an idea on what the probs might be?

thanks

Did you just get it rebuilt? I am guessing thats your rebuilt engine in the picture?
If yes check to make sure the head studs are torqued to spec and didnt stretch. Also see if you know anyone with a compression tester($20 @ discount auto tool store) and check the cylinder pressures and report back.
