Oil gushing out back of motor! Can you help tech?
I dont know what is wrong with this car.
I finally got it all back together, I was very proud of myself, pulled the head and replaced it and the car started almost immediately.
I should have known it was too good to be true.
So I went around the block just to hear it run, it stalls as I literally get halfway around the block, no shutters, no rough idle, it just slowly revs down and the battery, CEL, and Transmission arrow illuminate. It started up right away with no trouble, then 20ft later same thing revs drop to 0 and the CEL comes on.
I had to do this a few times to get back to the house. and as I drive through the alley I see a trail of "liquid" coming from where the car was sitting.
I open the hood and there is smoke galore coming from the rear of the engine. and I thought it was coolant leaking from a hose but after closer examination I find that it is oil!
Coming from a pipe. I took a picture of the pipe that is leaking...I have no idea what it is and what it is for.
I started the car again and watched the pipe and liquid is spewing from the as if its under pressure.
HELP!
I got pictures for reference.

I forgot to mention that when I opened the hood I noticed that I didnt tighten the clamps to the intercooler piping and the hose popped off, so I was hoping thats why it was stalling on me.
I took a picture of the leak just to show you how bad it was.
The previous photo of the dipstick shows the oil level which is "empty" and the gunk that is on the end of the stick. I don't know why its like that.

So, I just finished the oil return pipe, started it and everything was fine for about 5 minutes then it started to smoke and the car stalled while it was idling.
I tried starting it to move the car farther back and it wouldnt start for 3 attempts.
Once it started again I moved the car back and I found a fresh spot of oil on the ground.
What do you think Tech?
Anyone?
Im about to get it back on the stands to watch what is happening under the car.
I'll keep you posted

Ok, we're good!
I got the oil leak taken care of. It was the gasket set wrong when I put it on and was still leaking.
I also replaced the MAF sensor and she stopped stalling on me.
but now that I can drive it confidently I noticed white smoke coming from the exhaust when I accelerate and the RPM's get to about 3k+ .
It smokes for a few seconds no more than a minute when I let it sit and idle after a trip.
Could this be the turbo going out? How can I confirm this?
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME FOR YOUR HELP!

Ok, so now I noticed that there is oil leaking out of the top of my oil dipstick and the oil cap. I replaced the gasket on the oil cap so I am not sure why it would start leaking.
Could there be something else wrong with the PCV or anything else with the car?
Could it be possible that whatever pressure there is in the engine is causing the smoking at high rpm's?
