Limp mode maybe crank hub?

Hi guys!

I’m in need of some help because while I was driving on the freeway today (just cruising) my F82 DCT 58k Mike’s decided to pull a drivetrain malfunction on me and when I step on the gas, it was barely moving so I safely got off the freeway to pull some codes. Once I tried to turn the car back on, it took about 5 seconds to turn over with a very rough idle and a CEL and after a few seconds, the car would die out. I believe it was fuel that was coming out of the exhaust as well. I had no codes at all and a library of codes came out which are attached. My modifications are as follows. Any help or pointers on where to look would be greatly appreciated. I did a good 3rd to 4th pull from 3.5k to 6k but that was it and 15 min later while cruising at 70mph, the car decided to take a dump.

Did you check to make sure you have coolant in the air cooler reservoir?

Sounds like a leaking/broken charge pipe, not crank hub.

I checked both my reservoirs and they’re both really low even though I just filled them up about two months ago when I got my PS2 installed. I did a visual on my charge pipe and they seemed fine but I didn’t have the bit to take them fully off. Anyone else have issues with VRSF CP?

So need some help!

My buddy who has experience with f8X said it has to be my outlets or piping between turbos and intake manifold. That seems like an easier fix than what my current mechanic is saying. The shop my car is at, the mechanic is saying it sound like the wastegate inside the turbo or a head gasket but those seem too extreme for this. Anyone got any suggestions of where to go first? Or any recommended mechanics around the Stockton/Tracy CA area?

Update. After opening up the oil cap, smells like Straight E85 in there. At this point I’m out of options but to have a specialist look at it

Fuel smell in engine oil is normal for DI engines FYI.

Did you check the Jpipe, the one that's between chargecooler and throttle body?
just a suggestion.
