Default steam coming from the oil cap!??!?!

i just installed a new head gasket on a d16 z6 vtec motor there was water bubling from the exaust gasket- i torqued down the head alittle more- then it started steaming from the intake manifold side of the motor i tryed to tighten it more but it keeps steaming- when i take the oil cap off steam and oil squirts out- what should i do now?

thanks

sounds like either you didnt clean off the head and top of the block. or you might have torqued it down incorrectly. sounds like another head gasket wasted.
