well I finally got my truck back on the road after camming the engine rebuilding the carb and redoing the heads. So after driving up the road a bit the whole cab filled up with smoke i drove it home and popped the hood. What i found is my fuel pump was covered with oil also the whole oil pan was covered and the trany. So i thought it was the fuel pump gasket so i installed a new one. stated the motor and reved it and i thought it was fixed. took it up the road and once again smoke everywhere. and everything was covered as before.Any ideas? its just around the fuel pump thats covered. So im theinking its the crank seal but i replaced it with a new one when I put the motor back togeather. thanks marc

timing chain cover isn't leaking?

wind from the fan and just driving can push and pull oil all over i would clean it up and just sit there and see if you see anything

i would check around the exhaust to find the leak, if its smoking that much my guess is its dripping on the exhaust then burning up. my truck had a oil leak from the valve cover gaskets, but i never had any oil on the ground because it got burnt up on the exhaust first. good luck.

I agree on the valve cover gasket, mine was leaking on the back corner which I coundnt see. I replaced the oil pan gasket 3 times ( I thought it was leaking from there ) before I realized it was the valve cover gasket. If your smoking that bad I would say check all around the valve covers.
