As far as I know, about all you can do is change the oil a couple times. I've seen dump trucks with quite a bit of water in them that still worked OK, so I don't think it's critical, but change it another time and see what happens.

Is there a drain on the bottom of the tank? The water will settle to the bottom if you don't move the truck for a few days, and you can drain most of it there.
