UPDATE:Is it okay to drive 3 miles to the dealership with a busted oil separator?

Well, I get into the car yesterday and turned it on, there was a great deal of white smoke coming out the pipes and i knew...But I live about 3 miles away from the dealership and was wondering if it could make the trip since calling for a tow takes too much time.
There was a small puddle of oil under the car when i moved it yesterday. I checked the oil level but it is good. I drives fine, but i really only moved it about 20-30 feet. There are no noises per se.
And it was about 15 degrees yesterday when i turned it on.
