Also check the oil in the oil pan to see if you have any gas in it. If the diaphragm on the fuel pump is leaking gas could be getting through it and going into the block and down into the pan. Quickest way to check is to do an oil change and see if there is any gas floating on top of the old oil after you drain it. Let it sit for awhile before you check it as it may need to separate after coming out of the drain plug. Do not run the truck to warm the oil as this will mix the gas into the oil and make it harder to see. Also check to see if the oil has been thinned out by any gas. If you have 10-30 in it, check the oil in the pan against new oil in it original container. Watch how each pours and how fast a small puddle of it spreads out.
