Exclamation lots of smoke need help

i have an 87 tII and i just recently noticed i had a small oil leak, i was driving it and all of a sudden alot of white smoke came out of the exhaust and the oil hazard came on and a buzzing sound.. i stopped the car and popped the hood and everything was covered in oil and the engine was smoking. if anyone knows what happened and could help me out i would appreciate it. thanks

That kinda sucks...Don't tell me we have another front bolt falling out....

Check your oil cooler lines first....

Or, since you have one of those "maintenance nightmare" turbos (that oughta get the flaming going ), begin with that system first, after you clean everything up....

Look at all the high pressure spots. Check all the oil cooler lines (and the cooler itself) Then check the turbo's oil supply line (it's a hardline). Check the oil filter pedistal to make sure the o-rings didn't get fried.
