It's a blizzard here in OK right now. While backing out of my in-laws driveway, I slid off the edge. While trying to get out, I got a "low oil pressure" warning. I got out and looked underneath. No oil leaks. Walked around back of truck and there was oil pouring out of the exhaust. I got out of the hole and parked it. What can it be? Turbo seals out?

Yesterday, it was surging real bad one time going down the highway like a stopped up fuel filter. I'm wondering if it was the turbo instead. Please help!!!

Yea, it's pretty bad timing huh? It's kind of hard to tell if it's smoking, because it is 20 deg. and the wind is blowing about 40mph. It still builds some boost by power braking it, but I wasn't paying attention to the gauges while I was driving because I was trying to see the road.

Turbo is dead. It was surging cause oil was getting sucked down the intake.
