The throttle body full of oil? What part exactly  ???

There is the thin breather pipe from the cam cover, this should be clear. The throttle body itself can get covered in crude but not liquid oil.

Plugs? Using Water?

Large amounts of white smoke still points to using water, if the smoke has a grey tint to it, more likely oil.

Either way, if you are seeing "plumes" of smoke, its burning a fluid one way or another  ;)
