steam from dipstick = coolant in the oil
check your PVC and Oil cap (if you got one) see if the oil has gelled and is a lighter color, this is a dead giveaway for coolant mixing in your crank case. if so, might be a leaking intake gasket, could be a blown head gasket, cracked block, any number of stuff.
