Default I think I killed my engine

Today I noticed that my oil return line was sitting on my downpipe so, I adjusted it a little. But now all of a sudden my car smokes like I'm selling BBQ. Doesn't matter if I'm boosting or not!! But I dont hear any funny noises at idle, in fact thats the only time it does't smoke. I'm going to do a compression test in the morning, but I know it 's going to bother me alnight. Any clues to what it may be????

You're leaking blinker fluid which is burning off on your downpipe. Might want to seal that up before you run out... and your blinkers stop signaling.

just came from looking at my setup again. I think I may have a kink in the oil return b/c I doesn't straight down like it suppose to.
