Could either be AOS or your engine imploded. I've experienced both and they look identical.

In two of my three engine failures, the engine still ran with oil coming out and smoke billowing out. Both had major damage from failed lifters. Don't run the engine until you can inspect it and confirm the source of the problem.

I hope that its just the AOS.

Pull the sump, and filter to look for debris, first and foremost.. If you don't find anything, then it may be the AOS.

Engine Rebuild - NOT

Thanks to all. It was the EOS. Replaced it and had everything cleaned up. Runs like a champ again!
Thanks again.
