Engine trouble!

My 96 f350 with the 460 7.5 is having engine troubles. Its smoking from both exhaust and will not idle. Also blowing oil out the exhaust. What could this be?

Welcome to FTE!

Could be an overloaded PCV system dumping oil into the intake, could be a ring failure.

Other than that, how is it running? Hitting on all cylinders?
