Exclamation Inline 6 Rebuild?

I have a 1988 Inline 6. Last friday I got stuck in a little under 2 feet of snow and was working to get unstuck. Unfortunatly i only have 2wd. in the process of getting unstuck something happened to my truck and now it leaks oil out of the dipstick, the head gasket, and the oil pressure release line comming out of the top of the engine that leads into the air filter. Has anyone had this problem before? What happened, and how do i fix it?
Thanks,
I.6.O.D.

i have never heard of this happening but it sounds like an overrev issue and you blew some seals and some gaskets causing oil leaks. My suggestion a rebuild but lets wait on the experts to chime in cause i am by far no expert

Jus thought ide add that compression in cylnders 4 and 5 are low. 1 thru 3 and 6 are all between 100psi and 130psi but 4 is at 90psi and 5 is at 45 psi.
