Start looking for the leak.
Leaks are difficult for us to help you with.
Oil filter and oil pressure sending unit are the first places to look.

Like TJsaid, look at oil filter area, I have seen an oil filter blow up before, also oil pressure sending unit could have broken. Good Luck

What you cant wait for me to get my rig running you have to break yours? LOL! You said it won't start right? What does she do? Did you look at the areas where the oil filter is? By saying you had something blow by and a huge amounts of oil doesnt give us alot to work with. Tell us details of what it did when this happened and details of what it does now. Maybe even pic's, becaus we all like pic's.

Lol nah it was the oil filter I dont think it was tighten all the way and I think to much pressure built up. So it starts now so no prob now but I still have a small leak so I think I'm going to still do the rear main and oil pan gasket so if any one want to lend a hand with that bs let me know
