Car just stopped working when i was driving

so i was going to my work and i was driving near my neighborhood , i was going like 25-30 , in my speed gauge all kind of light turns on and break stop working.. so i stop my car and turn off the car.. and i try to restart the engine it doesn't start just keep cranking and smoke cumming out from exhaust and a lot of exhaust smell

i drop off in shop and they told me my spark plug and starter is flooded and in my engine theirs only 1 quartz left.. ( oil change was done 2000 miles ago )

they told me there have leak in powersterring too , also engine oil leak?

they told me $985 for just run the engine and those $985 is not include powersterring and oil leak..

do you guys know what is going wrong?

see if they shop will tell you the error codes. if your oil was changed that recently you have a serious leak. you need to find the cause of that.

What does this mean? "they told me $985 for just run the engine"

mods might matter.

with those mods your motor might be running lean. when it runs lean it will run hotter. so it might have caused the issue. get a tune to fix the air fuel.

the power steering leak i would not worry about right now. it happens to a lot of us. figure out the oil leak and why your spark plugs and starter are flooded.
