I checked my oil and the color is sort of tanish color. I was told that it had water
mixed in the oil. What's going on?

At some point the engine was pretty overheated and the cylinder head gasket blew. The cylinder heads themselves are probably warped or cracked as well. Water from the cooling system is now mixing in with the oil.
