Did I just kill my engine?? Lots of white smoke/no power
Today on the way to work I experienced a very saddening thing… I would lose all power, and giant clouds of white smoke were pouring out the tailpipe. The first time this happened was before I had ever gone over 2500 rpms, so I don’t think I blew my engine from pushing it too hard. I assumed it was because I bypassed the oil separator and piped it straight to the turbo/air filter, and the line had a kink in it, so I undid the kink and continued driving, and I couldn’t see any more white smoke so I just kept on driving (it’s about 30minutes of highway driving) The next time this happened I was at a light right in front of my work, and I went to check the oil, and it shot oil out the dipstick tube and… all over me etc. 
Yesterday I did an oil change on my car, using the correct oil (and amount) and filter etc. When the filter was out, I was inspecting the o-rings on the cover to the filter housing (the ones on the long rod) and they disintegrated, so I replaced them with two o-rings I had in a generic kit. They obviously weren’t a perfect fit, but I thought they’d be better than nothing, and I would just change them out with the right ones next oil change. I have a non-stock air filter setup, and my homemade blow-by separator/filter was removed for … servicing. What I did was I routed the line straight to the turbo (after the filter), thinking that it wouldn’t cause anything bad besides putting a little more oil into my intake. I have no idea what’s going on, or what I did to lead this to happen. Any ideas?
