What water and ice formations exist on Europa? Should NASA send a probe to look for life on Europa?

I think we could mess it up if we go there to check it out, so I vote no for sending a probe to land on Europa.
An astronomy class I took a long time ago. :)

Challenges for life
1. Europa has not atmosphere
2. Europa ice could generate oxygen down into the water
3. What is causing water to form? Does Europa have a internal heat source.
4. How could scientist determine life in the oceans of Europa?
