Sorry to hear that. I have my very own oil streak on I-81 in VA from when my engine dropped its oil.

In my case the front eccentric shaft bolt backed out on the highway. I initially thought it was something wrong with the clutch until I looked behind me and saw the plume of smoke. lol

Sucks to hear. The stock oiling system on the FD is pretty reliable, I'll be curious to hear the cause.....
