HI, i drive a 91 5.0 lx conv, I was goin down the freeway and white smoke starts pouring outta my car, i pulled over opened the hood and it smoked a little more but than it stopped i was pretty close to my house about 3 miles so I drove home that was last night, today i went to look at it and there is oil all over the bottom of the car, over the exhaust system, just everywhere I'm thinkin its a blown head gasket or rear main seal if that is the case how much is that gonna cost to fix and do you guys thinks thats the problem?

Sounds like a rear main seal being that there was oil all over.

ok thanks for the info I'll have to get that checked out tomorrow. A friend of mine said it can be some type of oil seal that needs to be replaced.

Make sure it's not something simple like a blown power steering hose or something.
