I finally thought I had my coolant issues fixed, but driving home last might the car got real hot and no heat. When i got home I saw steam coming up from in between the motor and firewall. So it looks like the heater hose that goes to the head is blown. I went to start taking the intake off(M50) took the intake boot off and the bottom of the throttle body looks milky, took the throttle body off and theres a little milky puddle. When I check the oil on the dipstick all is normal. Do you think I have a head gasket issue or something else? Thanks
Milky Throttle Body, not on dipstick??

it doesn't have anything to do with the lack of charcol canister
its just condensation the block that is evaporating, cooling, and getting stuck with oil fumes and gumming. Clean out the tubes and TB well, change the oil, and at least once a week drive the car for at least 30 minutes to get it good and hot.
