today while driving my '89 westy gl automatic on the interstate at 64 mph...poof...engine dies, smoke comes from the rear, lights come on on the dash...pull over immediately. inspecting the engine compartment we see oil all over the front of the engine mostly. i'd just changed the oil earlier this week with gtx 20-50 and new proper oil filter (mann?). she was running perfectly until the episode. a AAA flatbed gets me home tonight. i don't expect a perfect diagnosis, but could anyone help me understand what might have happened and what i can expect will be in the repairs?? any ideas out there wise ones? thanks in advance charlie laich lake orion, mi '89 westy GL automatic (113,000 miles original engine)
