ran to the store and back home. truck was running fine, then I get home and notice just a little bit of smoke coming from under hood. I get out and smell oil and pop the hood and find that oil has splattered everywhere on the driver side of the motor and i only have about a quart left in motor. O_o It looks like it could be coming from the head gasket but this truck is only two years old. Could it be the oil pressure vlave or something else?

well after i hitched a ride to work and back, I went out for another look see this morning and the oil seems to be coming from around the oil filter. I'm going back out for a better look and see what I can find out.
thanks
