After driving and getting the large poof of white smoke I parked the car to do some research. That's where I read about the AOS and decided to order one.
The next morning I checked the oil level like I always do after a change just to be sure it was at the correct level. It was reading too full. All the lines were lit up. I also did the test of running the car while trying to pull of the oil cap. I didn't have any suction when doing this but still ordered a new AOS.

Oh and I changed the plugs...all the ends looked great but...there was plenty of oil in the sleeves around the coils

While nothing is impossible, I doubt my guy put coolant in the oil or the other way around.

This oil is only a few hundred kms old.
I tried to make a shadow so you could see it better.

IMHO, I seriously suggest that you don't run it anymore until you find out WTF is going on. You may make a minor problem something considerably worse.
