Hey guys, I really need help fast with this as I am supposed to pick someone up in 2 hours. So I'm driving on the highway and then all of a sudden my oil light comes on and I just thought I was low on oil cause this thing does leak so I ease off a little and then look in my rear view and I see what looks like black smoke and I couldn't tell if it was just my dirty window or what but after a minute realized that yes it is smoke. I get home and look at the exhaust, nothing, pop the hood and smoke everywhere. It looks like it's coming from behind the intake mani and I thought it was my trans again (just rebuilt this a month ago) and the smoke source looked to be the same. I take a better look and see fluid all over the firewall underneath the intake mani. Could I have blown a headgasket and lost a lot of oil that spilled onto the firewall? The source of the smoke was the fluid hitting my exhaust. Please help me guys!
