Sounds like one of the turbos gave up. Although without proper inspection hard to say for sure.

If you knew it was running like *** why did you go out on get on it?

General rule:

White smoke= burning coolant

Blue smoke= burning oil



You mentioned white smoke but alot of oil on the ground. You may have two issues going on at the same time. Either way, it sounds serious.

As to why it gave out, who knows? But your car only holds a little more than 4 quarts and you had to add three after getting back from vacation. If you were driving around BEFORE you left with the oil level that low, that couldn't be good.

FWIW, burning coolant smells faintly sweet and much different than buring oil.

oil can be white too. I had an oil return blockage (don't ask) on my old single turbo and when it finally leaked past the oil seal it was like a spy hunter smoke screen.



Sounds like one of your oil seals on one of your turbo's went out. Watch your coolant and see if you lose any but my money's on a bad rear oil seal.
