there's no water on my dipstick but when i press the throttle smoke comes out the dipstick, what could cause that? at least i know my head gaskets are good for now. and why would there be alot of oil inside my throttle body and air intake? what aould cause that too?

how do you know your head gaskets are good? White smoke means water burning ( usually head gasket or cracked cylinder) if it has a light blue tint then it's oil or fuel. I would pressure test your radiator and do a comp test. The oil is prolly nothing more than blow by from your pcv.

sounds like a head gasket to me. Check your plugs they tend to tell you alot.
