Normally it means you have moisture in the motor. Head gasket or intake gasket leaking. Most of the time I've seen the head gasket leaking to be the reason. Check your oil level frequently. If the level starts to rise, then you probably have a head gasket leaking. The problem is oil does not steam. The steam is coming from a water based substance in your motor. Example..... Water, antifreeze, etc.

How is a boiling water reactor's superheater 'heated'?
They don't. BWR's run wet saturated steam. There is no superheating in a BWR, because there is no way steam would come in contact with a heat source. The plant must be built to be compatible with wet steam that could condense.
