Intake manifold cracked and i changed the gaskets as i did not know it was cracked, and did an oil change at the same time. well the water leak was worse and i apparently left the old oring on when i put the new oring in. dumped out most of the oil from the filter area and my car wouldnt idle anymore. changed the filter and changed the intake manifold. started it and rough idle along with huge ammounts of white smoke (steam) pouring from the exhaust and radiator pressure cap. now people say its the head gaskets. upon me taking the heads off water is in both sides of the back 3 cylinders. would a blown head gasket cause water in both sides and that many cylinders???? Yes she ran with little water that day dont know if she was dry though. also ran with low oil. so what do you think. head gaskets, cracked head, cracked block?? whats my next move. thank you

Could be both headgasket and intake manifold leak-water reaching the other side is probably thru the intake valve runners during the intake stroke.

Im not really that mechanically inclined. Can you break that down for me. Im guessing you meen change both head gaskets as well as intake maiforld gaskets. Do you know that the chances of a cracked block would be? Im having someone look at the heads tomorrow also just to be sure they are good. Thank you
