Problems.... and a very crappy nite/drive...

driving home last nite going about 120km on the hwy i see smoke out the rear of the car so i check it out and yup i see that im pressing on the gas and going 80 so i press the gas more and im going 70. keep it pressed in second and im going 60 on the hwy. so i get out and eventually my car stolls on the side of the road. i try to start it and it starts and shut off randomly during the drive to a parking lot. so im guessing head gasket or oil pan or something to do with the fuel rail or something. so i get my friend to help me out with a toe at like 4:30 am this all started at 3:20am. now ill have to wait and see wats going on with it.... hopefully nothing pricy... just got home at 6:15am.

just got a call from my mechanic its spilling oil and lots and lots of while and blue fumes. car is shaky on idle and struggles to start... my mech said it could anything to a cracked rod or ring or head gasket or oil pan or injectors. i got my gauges but i havent put them in... he also said it wasnt really my fault but probably cuz the car is old close to 200,000km even tho it was running in very low boost and low settings for aggressive cams it still could of blown something. hes doing a compression test tomorrow... it doesnt sound good...
