Leaking oil out of oil breather tube

my truck was leaking a ton of oil out of the oil breather tube and my oil pressure was dropping, got the truck to the dealer, they said they were going to replace ther engine, they said it is probably a damaged ring or piston or cylinder wall, what do you guys think what could have caused this, i have an afe stage 2 air filter and mbrp exhaust, diablo power puck that i never turnerd passed the 60 hp setting, thanks

Did the oil have the smell of diesel? Was the oil level much higher than normal? If so you have a cracked injector(s).
