I was recently was forced to move my FJ40 to higher ground in Houston and now have water in my oil and steam coming from exhaust, the oil is slightly milky, it seems to idle fine and is not difficult to start..What would be the best course of action to prevent damage or more damage..

Drain all the lubricants and refill with new, quickly, before everyone else has to do the same thing
first, we are praying for you guys in TX. You guys are are tougher than Harvey!
If the water is from going through deep water, then I would change the oil, or at least let it sit overnight and slightly open the drain plug and try and let the water out until you get oil. If it is coolant water, then you may have bigger issues.
