I am In need of some serious help,
My 99 s/c 318 might of seen better days. It started having serious problems when going down the interstate.
Pulled off and it was running really rough and smoking oil out the back so much I could barely see my buddies headlights.
Looked at it again this morning and noticed my boost/vac gauge that normally reads 20vac was only reading 10.
The pcv valve was blown off and so was my crankcase breather. When that happened oil saturated my engine bay.
Don't hear anything knocking, but it is running really rough and smoking still. Checked the oil and it is in the safe.
Possible gasket? If so where to start to look?
Thanks

This is bad. Sounds like your crank case pressure are pretty high. The only way for that to happen is a burned/broken piston, blown head gasket, or severly cracked head. I've seen rings come out in multiple pieces from an engine that ran pretty good.
Sound like you need a new engine.

you're running boost right? couldn't the plenum gasket be bad and allow boost pressure to enter the crankcase? i'd check that first.
