Removing oil and letting it settle should give a very clear picture as to if there is oil or was it just foamed oil as a condition.]Water will tend to rise to the top as oil is heavier than water.

If you think it is posible there is water in the oil in your mixture, dip a paper towel in it. Many times you can tell just from that if the towel has only oil or a mixture. OR if you are unsure, in an open area, (away from anything that wil burn - like off the dock in the parking lot) hold a flame near that mixture on the paper towel. Water doesn't burn.
