Truck Bleeding profusly

[Shaolin Crane]

well heres what happened i was on the free way got off and was waiting at the light, while im sitting there i see some little clouds of white smoke coming from what i belive was the car in front of me but turns out it was my truck, so i drive about 2 miles more to my destination and decide to get out and pop the hood when i do i see the entire engine compartment cover in oil except for the passengers side as i look underneath my truck i notice ive lost about 2-3 quarts of oil and decide it best to shut the truck off, no the bad part as i walk back down the street i was on i noticed a huge oil trail comeing from where i was driving including the u tunr i made a to get to the house, now for the inside oil dripped down the down pipe onto the drive shaft and coted my etire undercarrage but back to the engine, i notice most of the oil seems to be pooled over the drivers side valve cover and the vicinity above it can any tell me if im lucky enough to have just blown a gasket or if i blew my hpop need help asap

is there alot/any oil in the valley of the motor?

[Dirk]

You sir, just blew a HPOP oring. Need to find out which one. Fairly simple fix. Just annoying as h3ll.

[Shaolin Crane]

yup theres oil in the valley all over the firewall, all over the turbo, all over the tranny all over the drive shaft, all over the exhaust, but i didnt see any oil coming from the hpop lines those seem fairly clean actually light soaking not nearly as much as the rear of the engine

[Dirk]

Tomorrow morning, fill the engine with oil and clean up all the oil around the valley. Have someone start the truck while you watch to see where it's coming from.

perhaps the turbo pedistal orings????? not sure if those can blow and make that much of a mess though? can they, anyone?

[Shaolin Crane]

well heres the issue im not too irritated about the mess as i know with some time and elbow grease i can fix it its that i gotta be up at 5am for a tournamnet that goes from 6 to 8pm

Anything is possible. But that much oil? Sprayed everywhere... smart money is hpop or hpop line (oring).

i agree with this. sounds like hpop oring to me too

[Shaolin Crane]
