My 01 9-5, 2.3, 162k was running pretty good until... I noticed that after start up the car was making a sound almost like a diesel until it warmed up for 5 minutes or so. After a week of this my son went on a trip down the interstate and about 80 miles later called to say that it died, oil light was on and white smoke came from the exhaust. Oil level was good before he left. I drove out, put some oil in it and started it. Lots of white smoke and a spray of oil coming from the exhaust and a lot of noise by #1 (timing chain side) cylinder. Plugs showed no oil or damage on them. Now that I've towed it home where should I start looking for the problem?
