Message	This is not a happy post :( no pictures... only a sad story: so my friend invited me to time attack, had a great time and I kicked ass, but on my way home the car lost power and white smoke started to come out enough to blind all freeway lanes, thank god it was late night and there were few cars... my friend and i pulled over, there was no leaking and coolant only needed about 12oz of water... no sign of head gasket failure... we drove home at 40mph. today I opened the hood and the oil stick popped and oil was all over the drivers side and covered the pipe that goes to the turbo elbow, took everything off and cleaned.. A LOT of oil was in there so i felt better but I still have this loud valve ticking noise and white smoke is still coming out. here is the car.. cold and olny drove it for 2 min before cleaning.
