Well i was driving on the hwy the other day and noticed my car smoking from under the hood. Like a minute after the car just shut off like in a safe mode. So i pulled over and popped the hood, well oil was everywhere on the intake side. I checked my oil the morning i left and it was at about 4 quarts well when i checked it, when i pulled over it was empty! Anyone have any ideas on what would cause this massive oil leak? I cannot locate the leak since this only happens at high boost and higher rpm. You think too much boost would have caused this?
 
Could be the oil filter that backed off but you say it's all on the intake side. Could be the dipstick popped out but you would have noticed when you checked it and that's on the exhaust side. Could be coming from the breather filter if you have one on there but to pump that much oil out the breather filter you gots a serious blow by problem. Could be your oil filler cap gasket disintegrated.
 
check the oil feed bolts for the turbo..and inspect the oil return line thoroughly. also check the gaskest on the oil return line. and further most ...check the turbo. maybe the seals blew out, doubt that's your problem but who knows.
