Got a call this morning from a freind, he is wondering what would cause oil to be sprayed all over the engine compartment. It was -36 this morning,the truck was plugged in overnite. He left for work drove about 15 miles then truck started missing. stoped opened the hood and found oil all over everything.He added oil started the truck back up it will idle but misses when you apply power. Not gelled fuel, there is oil in the valley but also oil all over the entire engine compartment. Any ideas would be helpful.

Most likely a high pressure oil line ,or an O ring on the line gave up...

Yeppers, he has a 2500lb pressure oil leak. They tend to make a REAL MESS! LOL
Clean it good, then start it and try to find it, shouldn't be really hard I bet...:lol:
