S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

How long did it smoke prior to you shutting it down?

What was the oil spray from? I've seen the oil line to the supercharger break at the block (Mine). Luck I saw an oil leak before going back onto the track.

Have you drained the oil (what ever is left)? Drain it into something clean so you can inspect visually and with a magnet pen.
I think it was smoking for a while. I was driving 30 minutes home. Smoke was definitely coming from the header though. Was definitely oil burning on there. Right side of engine seems dry. I see oil on the oil feed line connection but oil basically everywhere so able to see where it is coming from yet.
I have no drained the oil yet. Can't jack my car up as it is too low and will wait to have someone help me push it onto a wood block so I can get under to jack it up.

If something went bad inside would a cel go off?

Earlier today my vac went down and then boost gauge was showing lots of boost at low rpm but that couldn't happen from this right?

Yeah I also have an oil drain valve recently installed but I doubt that would get oil all the way up the side of the engine. I am thinking it is the oil feed line.
If it is and no cel came on or oil light or anything and my oil pressure gauge I never saw it go low and still had 15 psi at idle when parking could the engine still be toast?

Just so you know. When that connection was severely cracked; my oil pressure didn't drop much either (I have a SPA gauge in my face and warning LEDs).

I would say it will depend on how much oil leaked.

First thing to do is relax. I thought I blew mine once and couldn't sleep. I ended up searching the internet ALL night, trying to find answers for questions I didn't have yet.

Hopefully a decent amount of oil comes out.

Yeah I'm not too worried at the moment.
And yeah so far I have had all of the FI issues without a single real pull being boosted lol. Got 2 2nd gear pulls in before it started going super lean.
