quick question?? i kno a leak down test is the best answer but i figured ill ask before i get around to it.
sr20det built head, multi layer metal hg, hx35 turbo, microtech standalone, this hg has been on the car for about 4-5 years. today i gave my friend a test drive and all of a sudden the car is misfiring, smoking, and oil everywhere. there is damn nere no oil in the car. i get it home add oil and and now when i crank it all the compression is blowing out of the turbo(well thats what it looks like)it spins at first with no compression the puff puff compression blows out the t starts and runs like shit. head gasket or rings or something worst

it can be your turbo oil seal as well, is the car overheating ? if not it shouldnt be the headgasket, more like the piston rings if it smells like burning oil and constant smoke, do a compression test.

Oil everywhere as in; the engine bay is covered in oil, or quarts of oil is in the pressure side of the pipe/intercooler or oil is everywhere throughout my exhaust system or any combination of these?

where is it smoking from? exhaust manifold? engine block or head? transmission area? radiator? turbo? exhaust?

I know you get the point. We need a better description of where problems are located and what the symptoms are. And what happened during this "Test Drive".

Honestly it sounds like your car has more than 1 issue we are dealing with. From rocker(s) falling off to hg or ring problems and more...
