Yes, if the manifold/elbow gasket has failed raw water can run down the exhaust port and into the engine. If the exhaust components are old they may be rusted away on the inner cooling jacket as well also allowing water down the exhaust port. As you know there are other possibilities.

That could be your problem. Who used the silicon gasket sealer on the riser? They make special gaskets for this
and silicon gasket sealer should not be used.

Ground the ignition coil take out all the spark plugs and crank over the engine. See if water shoots out of the cylinders. If so you need to get all the water out and spray fogging oil in there to prevent rust. Then drain and remove the exhaust manifold and look for water rust stains in the exhaust ports. If so the the water could have come in thru the exhaust if not the it could be other things like a blown head gasket or cracked cyl head ....
However if you have a blown HG, it will put water in the cyl and exhaust port. This can be misleading. So when you remove the riser look in the center exhaust gas passage for signs of water running down from the joint between the riser & manifold.

Rule out the other causes first. Test the msnifold with acetone for leaks; do a leak down test, pressure test cooling system. There are a lot of ways for water to get into the oil. No water in cyls seen during comp test?
