crap something bad happened

While topping off my engine oil couple drop of water(sweat) fell in the engine, am i screwed? Car seems okay on my way home but not sure about long term damage.

edit
Im not offended at all, might sounds stupid to yall but to me its a legit question. I rather look dumb asking the question than not knowing. This is my first car so i still got much to learn and ill probably get more of you a holes on the way but hey its all part of the online experience.

What amount would cause a concern? I always hear there should be no water mixing with engine oil, should i change my oil to be sure or is it too late since i drove few miles home after it happened?

Moisture gets into the oil all the time. Condensation happens and it gets burned off. You'll be OK.

David is correct, it's already evaporated and gone through the pcv and back out the exhaust.

You should probably check the air pressure in your tires.

First off don't drive the car

Clearly you are not intelligent enough to operate a motor vehicle

Secondly you should always use birth control

I think it could explode. Go to the parts store and ask for some canned steam. That stuf will fix your problem fast.

If that happened in a comic book, your car would probably get superpowers.

Toss a half gallon in there and you'll probably have issues.

Remember that when your engine is cold and warms up, condensation occurs. Once it reaches full operating temperature it's plenty hot enough to evaporate any water mixed in.

Hey you took it in stride. How old are you, if you don't mine me asking? There might be some hope for our generation yet!
