I was driving on the highway at about 50-60 MPH when I lost all acceleration power and puffs of white/blue smoke poured out of the tail pipe. I babied it home (about 3 miles) and haven't driven it since. It didn't over heat but my oil gage dropped immediately. And it made an un-natural sound. What's wrong and is it easily fixed?


Oh yeah and I have oil, it just has a white film.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like your engine is no good. Double check to see if there is any oil in it.
