You have a serious problem that can ruin your engine so stop driving this thing. Assuming you can’t repair this yourself start looking at online shop reviews and ask friends or relatives who they might use for this problem.

I checked oil level on dip stick it showed over full drained off some oil out of crankcase it looked red . Next I changed the oil it was even more red .checked fluid level started truck and no transmission fluid no dip stick cut off truck.
