Default White Smoke, Leaking oil, Engine dead?

Hi guys,

Today I was driving normally on the highway, nothing different from the usual. When I began accelerating onto the highway I notice LOADS of white smoke coming from behind the car. I stopped it on the side about 20 seconds later and found a LOT of oil leaking from under the engine. There was no indication on the electronics, no change in engine noise, no loss of power, nothing.

I also noticed that there was a lot of oil on the rear bumper and boot. Seems that the oil only leaks when i start the engine. Again, until I parked it this evening, the engine seems okay, no indications of any kind apart from all the physical stuff that is going wrong with it.

It is an Audi A6 (C7) 2.8FSI Quattro (2012 model)

Somebody PLEASE help me out here. I'm really stuck.

Thanks

Sounds like a blown head gasket. Get it towed to the dealer. The car should still be under warranty.

I second the blown head gasket. That sucks because if it's really a 2012, I can't see there being many miles on it as compared to some of our cars.
