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.

Not good thats why

also, im a douche, it could just be blown piston rings, run a compression check, and see if all the cylenders are even, and around 120-150psi. if they are all low, the combustion is blowing past the rings into the crank case, burning oil, and thats what the "steam" is blowing out the dipstick.
