Barely made it home

Tonight in a driving rainstorm I started smelling burnt oil. I had just changed the oil so I thought maybe I spilled a little.Within a few minutes the truck stalled. I pulled over,checked the oil filler cap and filter cap were on, restarted it, let it run a minute and all seemed fine. NOT. The truck had no power, boost jumped around, it bucked and jerked and stalled every 30 seconds. I'd put it in Neutral and it would crank for about 10 seconds and barely fire back up. I made it home. Popped the hood and oil everywhere. I'll check it in the morning when it stops raining. Truck has 98,700 miles. No CEL. Any guesses?

Possible, but after I change the oil I inspect everything for leaks.
