White smoke and Pools of oil

Okay I just got on the highway excellerated a bit heavy to pass some traffic, but not all out romping it. Then all of the sudden white smoke starts pouring out my engine bay, and is making a huge trail behind me.

I finally get the car home, and there are puddles of oil around the intake manifold right behind the throttle body. It seriously looks like a grenade went off in there though because there is oil around the entire engine bay and it appears to have splattered.

I had my throttle body, EGR valve, EGR gasket, and intake manifold gaskets replaced about 2 months ago.

What could have caused this? How bad is it? If any other info is needed to diagnose a problem let me know.

Sounds like the engine let go. Do a compression test and check that first before doing anything else. If oil is coming thru the intake it is not good.
