"steam" is more likely oil vapors, catch can should be plumbed correctly back to turbo intake yeahhh that was probably the dumbest moves you could have ever made. You should NEVER open the Rad cap when the engine is hot! Its hot and pruessureized when running that why is shot up. why would you open the rad. if steam is comming out if the oil catch can? those systems dont mix unless the h/g is blown.

check your oil there duder... you surely blew a headgasket - or cracked something. coolant doesnt just END UP in the oil system. sounds like a headgasket to me.
