smokin bad

Today i drove around 15 minutes and seen my bronco was smoking everywhere so i took it to the back of the driveway, smoking comming from under the hood at back of engine and blue smoke out exhaust and rear of engine covered in oil. Should i look in to the problem or replace the engine? and what could of happened

I'd look into it before tearing out the engine... Could just be a loose oil filter, broken dipstick tube, or, if it is coming out the exhaust, bad valve seals.
Go thru the process of elimination first.
Look for major oil leaks, gaskets that have pushed out, loose drain plug, dipstick blown out, PCV valve and hose rotted or broken, etc.
Good luck, and post an update with any findings.
