O-Ring Plug
Use an material for the o-ring which is compatible for both water and the type of oil you’re using.
one design I just ran across this morning on one of our exhibits (designed to hold a vacuum, but that’s just the inverse of what you want to do
):
A cap with a clearance fit into your tube, a plug with a gland for an o-ring, and use three screws to squeeze them together and expand the o-ring against the tube.
