Description of the problem	My vehicle had been having to common oil consumption meaning i checked the oil every time i got fuel. This last time i went to check the oil level the dipstick was under so much pressure it shot twenty feet into the air when the hood opened. I then drove the vehicle from the gas station back home and this time took the oil fill cap off and when i turned the cap a quarter turn it blew off into the air followed by burning hot oil droplets and steam. When i run the vehicle for any amount of time the oil drain back system builds more pressure then the cooling system eventually causing the vehicle to stall under load such as when taking off from a stop. When the vehicle does stall it will take from 2-10 minuets to restart.
