could also be your lower intake gasket.

I'm hoping it's not what I think it is....how would I go about checking to see what the problem is?

change your oil, see if theres coolant / water in it.

I sent you a pm if you need it looked at let me know.

Also something to check is this:disconnect the 2 water lines going to the throttle body and cap them off with anything that fits in there secure (a bolt will work as it is temporary) and use the existing hose clamp to tighten the hose to whatever it is you use to block them off.then plug the 2 outlets on the throttle body with vacum caps.fire it up and see if it makes any difference.its a common problem.

also in the event you do have a head gasket issue water in the oil is only one symtom but do checkit.only if the gasket blows on that portin of the gasket will there be water in the oil.it can be leaking water straight to the exhaust and will have no water/oil mix.

again hit me up if you need any help
