i dont think thats what that means ...all the oil would be white because it circulates in the engine and dosent stay in the front or back

Yes it is killing your low end power.

They should open them selves but, if they're wired open chances are they don't work. Or they wouldn't be rigged!

May just be a little moisture mixed with uncirculated oil stagnant in the hole. How does the oil on the dipstick look? If it looks OK, and the level remains constant or a bit lower with time--in other words normal--you probably don't have a blown coolant seal(s).

the car uses oil as it is supposed to. But like at startup an while runnin it blows water into the reserve so i'm pretty sure i have a blown coolant seal. Not to mention occasionaly when i start it i get steam out the exaust
