too much smoke

OK help here my car just went cucu on me I woke up this morning start my car, and notice that smoke comes out of the muffler I though it was a minute thing, but wen I was driving it got worse it look like I was driving a train the more accelerate the more **** out.
So my guess is could be a gasket or the oil is not gettin hot as is suppose to or i don't know what it is? Due that rotors don't have a head I don't know where to look... Any advice please.

Rebuild, sounds like a housing oring popped on you, unless you have a turbo, than other options are possible

well, there's your problem right there. have the car neutered. (hardy-har-har ... )

seriously though, first question is did it overheat? if it's smoking as badly as you described it, then it would seem academic, but pull the plugs and see what's in there. either way, it sounds like a rebuild may be in the near future.

is the oil filler and center iron properly ventilated?
Is the turbo any GOOD?
these 2 things alone will cause smoke(oil) to start up and when driving,especially when you kick it down.

i think you would better check if there is any leak in the exhaust.
