check guage, no oil pres at idle

Need some help, My check guage light went on, check my guages and saw that there was not oil pressure. Pulled over and checked dip stick. Oil level was about 2 inches above fill line. Ilde is also ruff and I can smell diesel. Also I noticed some smoke comming out of the breather tube under the truck. Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Fuel in the crankcase sounds like a bad injector. Better not drive it till you know for sure. Washing of the oil will kill a piston and engine bearings.

What he said, don't drive it as it doesn't take long to destroy the engine with fuel in the oil.
