Default where the hell is my oil

Ok. So I got home from work last night and the three weeks I was gone I had it turboed. Well. Long story short we drove it from EARTH MOTORS shop to his other shop with It tuned good enough to drive the small distance, maybe five miles. He tuned on it a little more and we were about to dino tune it and drive it one more time for him to tune on it. Mind you It was never gave more then half throttle while driving it. Then it starts knocking...la the motor is being pulled tonight. But when the oil was drained there was at the most three quarts of oil in it. Mind you the oil was changed when the turbo was done, about 10 miles ago. When it drained there was also some kind of white film that came out with It. So my and the oil did not come out the exhast. I checked. O

you check the intake piping ? you check your coolant ? the film could be water but usually that makes it nasty milky ish.

sounds like water. Head gasket possibly. Check your coolant and see what that looks like. Are you sure the oil was filled all the way before driving it.

Must be magic! If it didn't go out the exhaust and didn't leak out the engine somewhere, then it just VANISHED!!

(has to go somewhere bud, keep looking or it wasn't filled )

you did check the intake piping correct ? you keep wording it exhaust but there is a seal on the cold side as well and can blow through to the intake.
