Help Me Diagnose! (With Pics Now)
Driving down the road last night all of the following happened at the same time
Loud popping/whooshing noise (like a bov almost)
Check Engine Light
Lost lighting to boost gauge
No Throttle Response
No Power steering
Speedo dropped to 0
I pulled over right away and opened the hood. Everything looked alright and I was only a mile or two from my house so I started her back up. There was a horrible burning smell, it wasn't oil but kind of like coolant/burning rubber the entire time. I was able to make it into my driveway and she did the same thing as soon as I pulled in.
My coolant tank is full and there is too much snow for me to check the oil right now.
Any ideas?

It sounds like a combination of serpintine belt failure, and when parts went flying, other stuff got hit.
Although if your serpentine belt snapped, you would also loose your alternator, so your volt gauge should drop to 12ish with the battery light on
Curious to see what happened.

so i checked the belts today and all were on and tight... i'm confused. I was able to drive it up to my garage where it sat outside for an hour before i moved it in and there was a HUGE puddle of oil under the block on the turbo side just under and center more than the cat. I really hope it wasn't a turbo oil feed but we'll find out tomorrow. Any ideas?

Sounds like that may be it, or the head gasket itself. More investigation is needed to find out the source of the leak.
