Smoke coming out the dipstick tube

I posted yesterday about a bit of smoke under hood and checked closer last night and the engine oil level was not quite at the lo mark so I actually added more to a good full mark level. After idling about 5 min I saw smoke coming from the Oil dipstick cap, pretty significant. I removed the dipstick and held my palm over the tube and it was not really pressurized but just puffing. Is that my exhaust coming out the crankcase? The other thing is a bit of water coming out tailpipe. Is that normal until car is up to operating temperature. My antifreeze level stays full so I don't think that is leaking into motor. This is an 86 900s non turbo with 153k miles. I hope this is not a major gasket and would be open to try an engine oil additive if anyone can suggest a safe one to try if it is seals. Also, there is no oil drippage from the engine but the car does use oil, maybe a quart in two months. Does that play into what is going on?
Thanks for your advice.
