oil spewing out of dipstick

i drive my car for about 5 minutes and the next thing you know is that there is smoke from under the hood. to me it looks like it is coming out of the dipstick and the oil is all the way to the top of it also.
---i did not do that 3 days ago
---i did not add any oil latley
--- last time i checked(more than 3 days ago), the pcv valve was working fine.

any suggestions appreciated.

Check your coolent. Make sure there is still coolent in your radiator. It sounds like maybe a water passage inside the engine or a head gasket let loose and you have water in the crankcase. Since oil floats on water, this could be why your oil level is all the way to the top of the dipstick. I am assuming that you oil level is staying very high all the time. Something to check. Good luck.
