SMOKING - quick fix or bigger problems???

Hi,
I did an oil change about a week ago. Replace the oil with TWO 3.78 litre 10W30's = 7.5 Litres. After speaking with my dad about how little oil came out of my car (after doing the oil change)... today I added an extra 3.78 litres = 11.28 total litres (now in my car). Big mistake??..... today about 6 minutes of driving after doing the 11.28 litre .top up'.... my car starting smoking out of the tailpipe (oil?) & my engine cut out & I was left with NO power steering.
Left the car for about an hour... luckily the engine turned over when I tried the ignition... but smoke was coming out of the tailpipe and generally out of the back half of the car (out the side in and around the back wheel wells)
Purpose of this message:
Does anyone here know what are the two most likely problems that I am experiencing and the fix? Do I need to suction out some of the oil (because I have too much oil) or is this likely a serious problem?
Thank you,
John
