Re: Engine Locked Up - Complete Oil Loss in Less Than a Mile
It takes crankcase pressure to push out all that oil. It usually doesn't blow out the valve cover. Sometimes it will blow out the dipstick. It'll rarely coat the hood.
I'd suspect your pcv valve was popped out enough to not be working, you built a lot of crankcase pressure and the oil went out the weakest gasket (or several of them).
