Oil blowing out of coolant bottle??

Guys I need help.. The truck had been running maybe 10 min. Driving about 50mph the oil light came on and the motor started squeaking bad! I pulled over and shut it off and there was oil all over my drivers side. Oil was blowing out of the coolant bottle like crazy and there is no oil in the motor now. ??? All happend in about 20 seconds. Help!?

No idea. But does NOT sound good.
Basically, wherever the oil is right next to the coolant, that's the spot that I would think failed. Since the oil pressure is higher, if forced it's way into the coolant system.
Don't even crank it over, I'm sure you know.

Sounds like the oil cooler took a chit on you! Sorry about the issues, hopefully you didn't damage the engine internally!

My guess would also be a ruptured oil cooler.

you can do it cab on, but it's not fun.

If you got oil in the water resevoir then check your engine to see if you got water in it. It may be that the front cover as cavitated and is spilling over into the water cooler. I had this happen to me and thats what it was. Just an Idea:::::
