alright... im going across this bridge near my house at about 60mph (speed limit 55), on my way to work... just "cruisin'" and i hear this loud pop and something falls out from under my car. it appeared to be a small black piece (maybe 3" by 3"). at first i thought i ran something over. then my car starts to jerk around and smoke starts spewing out of my hood and my oil light comes on.

i instantly pull over... i pop my hood and check my oil because it looked like oil was dumping out of the back of the motor. the oil level was fine. i was almost to the end of the bridge so i rid it gently in first gear about a block to this parking lot. it drove like shit. when i get there i check the oil level again and there isnt a drop of oil left.

it seemed to be coming from the back and front of the block but i really couldnt tell.

my oil change was do... i had just hit 3000 miles on my last oil change the day before and i use full synthetic.

any ideas as to what could have happened. as it sits, in my opinion, i need a new block but i wont really be able to tell what happened until i rip the motor out. my friend said he thinks i blew the rear main seal but im not sure...

any advice or help is appreciated
thanks in advance
