Default FLUID COMING OUT CRANKCASE OIL VENT TUBE DURAMAX LB7

Hey guys just did injectors on my truck, runs perfect but crap tons of fluid is coming out of the crankcase oil vent tube. It almost smells like fuel but is also black but not completely if that makes sense. The truck runs fine otherwise no misfires or anything
NEED HELP FAST PLEASE

Sounds like an injector(s) stuck open and dumping fuel into a cylinder(s). The fuel washes past the rings and into the crankcase oil, diluting it and raising the level til it pukes out the vent tube. Check your oil level ASAP. I would bet the level is way up. I wouldnt run the truck if I were you. You may cause major damage.

Are you running a programmer or pressure box??

yeah therre was almost no oil left by the time i noticed it, and also poured oit most of my fuel too. i took off valve covers, my neighbor (diesel mechanic) said it was the galleys getting clogged. and out of both sides i found one galley on the drivers side had some of the gasket sillicone in it. would that be my only issue? and also im not sure if its normal but i left the truck overnight last night and the coolant housing underneath thermostats was completely full, is that normal? i thought that there should only be coolant in their when the engine was hot?
