Do you do your own maintenance or do you have a mechanic you trust?

No it's still full. I just drove it home and have left it since
I will take it to my mechanic as I do not do my own maintenance
What else could I have damaged or what will I damage if I keep driving it.

You could easily fill one or more cylinder with oil and hydraulically lock the engine, reducing it to a boat anchor.

Bingo. Hydro lock. Don't drive it. Cars aren't supposed to smoke profusely. Don't let your unwillingness to flatbed the car turn into a 20k mistake.

epapp, I read somewhere that the aos allowing oil to enter the intake in some cases can contaminate the maf. I will try to find that info. I try not to talk out of my rear.
