I agree that grey oil may have water in it.There should be a drain hole between the pump and engine to allow any water that gets through the pump seals to drain away before it gets to the engine. there is also a chance of water getting in the engine oil if the machine is stored where there is a lot of humidity or water spray from the pressure washer. I would put a sample of the engine oil on a white paper towl and let the oil soak in for a few hours before examining the paper under a magnifying glass to check for metal particles. Those little splash oiled briggs engines mix a lot of air with the oil,and air bubbles look an awful lot like bits of metal. You will do that little engine and yourself a big favor if you use only B&S or Mobil 1 multiweight SYNTHETIC oil. Multiweight SYNTHETIC motor oil is highly recommended by B&S for a Briggs engine for any load and any temperature conditions,unlike mineral oil where B&S recommends different weight mineral oil for different operating temperatures. I have been using Mobil 1 synthetic oil in all my small engines for 20 years. Oil consumption goes to almost 0 and they start much easier. You will get much longer engine life with less chance of scoring a piston or cylinder if you overheat the engine or rev it up too soon while cold.
