I got problems, HELP!!

Ive got an 05 6 speed Cummins. I went and picked up some wood at Lowes today. When I got home I noticed a real strong Diesel smell. I walked behind the truck and there was Diesel and oil all over my trailor. I looked under the truck and it was soaked from the motor to the back of the trailor. I check the oil and it appeared to be about 10 quarts or so to full, and smelled of Diesel. I took it to the dealer. They said they would look at it in the morning. What could it be?

I figured there was some injector issues but where is the external oil/diesel coming from?

Happened to me as well blew an injector filled the crankcase full of fuel it then mixes with the oil has no where to go so it blows it out the crankcase vent tube and covers the underside of your truck with an oil/fuel mixture.

Looks like more and more of these things are starting to take a dump.

On the last one it felt like it may have been a little low on power....had a sluggish feel to it with a slightly rough idle, the one before that had no symptoms.

Oh don't worry when it happens you will know it, it will be raining diesel/oil goo from the bottom of your truck. I did notice mine idleing a little rough before I got back to my shop and then I found the mess after getting back.

My '05 has about 12K on it and it just happened yesterday. Now my work truck is down and at the mercy of the dealership.
