Hi guys

I have a SEVERE OIL LEAK in my 95 v63VZE). I put a quart in every day or two. Yesterday I felt she needed extra love so I put in two quarts. Now she's billowing huge plumes of white gray smoke on startup and acceleration with no hint of quitting.

There's no way it could have been OVER filled as there was only about a quart +/- in it before I added to it. Should mention that a few days ago a buddy put ten gallons of "older" gas in my tank and she's been running like crap since, but no snow till now.

In an attempt to counteract the possibility of overfilment and burning oil rather than gas I immediately filled the rest of the tank (about half) with high grade chevron techron. Didn't make a difference.

The oil leak is so bad (rear main seal) that her undercarriage is completely blackened and caked with oil making it look like she's leaking from like 10 different places. However, I’m pretty sure it’s ONLY three .

Any Advice for this girl who ❤️s her runner but is clueless when it comes to the many maladies that plague her??? (Pretty positive Not a head gasket issue, which have already been replaced twice.)

A quart every day or two??? Stop doing that. Your truck needs to be off of the road. Clean all the oil on the undercarriage and elsewhere and pin point the leak(s). Oil leaks can be difficult to isolate. Where are the other areas you think it’s leaking from? Throw some pictures up here from both the top view of the engine and underneath. If you have a rear main seal leak, the transmission and clutch/flywheel are coming out. Its not going to fix itself or get any better. It’s a big job from a labor standpoint. Drain your fuel while you’re at it.
