I just changed the headgaskets on my 91 gt and changed the intake gaskets while installing a 1996 explorer intake. I didnt drill for the ACT sensor and I can't locate the other EGR water inlet on the back lower intake. Anyway my car smokes(white smoke) like hell especially when I press the gas and runs really crappy. There is some condensation along with a milky substance coming from where I put oil in the motor. I checked the oil stick and there is no oil mixing there. Could this be a intake leak? Help......

you are drinking coolant. since you just did head & intake gaskets you need to recheck things. when you did the intake gasket did smear a light coat of rtv around the coolant ports on the heads? I would redo the intake gasket job 1st and make sure all the surfaces are clean, rtv around the coolant ports, follow the torque specs but go over them atleast 3 times until the wrench clicks at the right torque on the the bolts. Then let it set and try it, if that doesn't work you are going to have to tear it all down and check the head gasket, hopefully it's just the intake. Did you prep the head and use new bolts?

when i first did the my head gaskets i smoked for a good amount til it burned off the coolant and oil that i spilled on the headers. I would drive it a little longer before you go pulling it back off. is it coming out one exhaust or both?

It's coming from both pipes and really bad. When I take off the oil cap, steam is coming from it and there is that milky substance around the edges. There is no oil or water mixing at all when I check my oil stick though.

Yeah take a comp. test, pull all the plugs have someone turn motor over and look for any fluids that may come out the plug holes, when you put the head gaskets on did you put the end marked front on the front ?
You most likely will not have what your saying with an intake gasket, both in oil and out exaust.

Ok thanks. I wonder why there is no water/oil mixter when I check my oil stick. The oil is perfectly ok. It's only steaming from the oil cap and running rough.
