I would like to ask the experts: water gets into the lubricating oil system of turbines in winter

I would like to ask the experts: what are the reasons for water entering the turbine lubrication oil system in winter? In severe cases, it can cause the turbine to stop.
Oil cooler leakage: If the inner coil is heated by steam, it may be due to a leak in the oil tank heater; air leakage from the turbine shaft seal reaches the bearings
Also, you posted in the wrong forum~~~
There should be a leakage issue; check the steam seal and the oil seal of the bearing housing
It could be a steam seal or an oil tank heating coil; however, the likelihood of it being a coil is low. If the coil leaks, the oil tank will be ruined.
During operation, if the oil cooler leaks, it is usually because the oil pressure is higher than that of the circulating water, causing the oil to leak into the water. Personally, I think there’s a higher chance of steam leaking into the lubricating oil; in such cases, the only solution is to drain the water regularly or use a vacuum heating oil filter to remove it.
The measures are still feasible; we have also tried various methods
