Default Ahhh not my turbos!

I'm thinking they just blew.

130k miles.. It was 0 degrees (F) today, hopped in my car and didn't let it warm up, within a few blocks tons of white smoke was blowin out the tail pipes. It also smelled a little like fireworks, but kinda sweet? Anyways, i drove it the few miles home and besides odd power surges, probably sensors freaking out, i made it home. Dipstick is dry. Coolant temp is fine, oil temp is low. Any ideas? Some other seal frozen maybe?? I sure hope!!

Make sure your car is on a flat surface and check the dipstick again. If the oil is grey that would indicate your headgasket is gone and you now have coolant in the oil and that is not a good position to be, if your oil was seriously low your oil light would come on. The other thing might be the turbo seal is gone and you are burning oil.
