Smoke and oil....help

[Mr. T-Type]

I was driving down the highway today and it downshifted and went into boost. I look behind me and there is a giant cloud of white smoke and it keeps smoking like that even at idle.

There is oil all over the back of my car and the car my friend was following me in.

Is this the oil feed line or PCV valve? I just got this car and haven't had a chance to get used to the engine.

The oil is still dripping....it was too dark and I didn't have a flashlight to check it out.

can anyone help me find what I'm looking for? I have a good feeling is not the oil feed line since the oil was all in the back of the engine by the transmission.

Welp, it's hard to say for sure where it's coming from. Could be the valve covers, could be headgaskets. Pull the dipstick, how's it look? Generally, white smoke means water/head gasket, and blue smoke is oil which could be from a bad turbo or intake gasket leak, or even head gaskets.

Not really, not from here. You're the only one that can get under the car to find out where the leak is. Sounds like something came loose.

I checked today and found it outs transmission fluid. Its not leaking from the pan, so I'm thinking its the line running to the tranny cooler/radiator.

I dropped it off at a transmission shop tonight to have them check everything. Hopefully its just the line.

The car had been sitting for a long time.
