Where is the oil leaking from? (or what area of the truck?)
Where is your oil level on the dipstick? Was it very thin, and smelled like fuel?
What was your oil pressure the last time running? Normal, or lower than normal?

The reason for the questions.....
You could have an injector or return line issue. When they fail, your crankcase can be filled up with fuel, and the crankcase vent will spit out the overage (leak). Also, when your crankcase is full of oil/fuel, it can hinder starting due to little room in the crankcase for air and piston movement. It can also make it idle and run like crap, and in many cases, will blow white smoke.

Fortunately, if it is injectors, your warranty will cover it. Don't get out the citrus just yet. That should be one of the first things they look for.
