Hello Oil (VVT-I Line Burst)

Alright, going to get pies for thanksgiving this morning when all of a sudden the Navigation system says "Check air conditioner" At this point I was thinking the AC went out... whatever. Switched the car to outside air cause it was getting hot inside the car, and i get a crazy bad oil smell.. I thought it was the car in front of me so I continued. By the time I got to the next light... the smell was still there. At this point I knew something was up so as I pulled into the parking spot, a cloud of smoke went in the car and I immediately opened the hood to find this:

Engine:

Our Driveway...


Thank god for Certified warranty.

Also, the engine appears to be fine.... we will know more tomorrow.

Edit: happened at 47000~ miles...

Had the recall service done on mine a couple weeks ago. I have 97k miles on my 06 avy. I guess now we all have to go back for the gas pedal recall
