Help "blown Head Gasket ??"

Got home from work yesterday. Shut truck down got out walked around the front and then I saw it ," OIL "allot of it, open hood & its all over. The first thing I check is the puke can, empty-ed it out.
cleaned everything off, checked oil, down 1qt., check radiator all OK. Started truck back up and then I saw it , oil com-ming from between block and the head right in front. not under pressure but running out quick enough to make a mess when the fan hits it. Trucks under warranty but I hate to take it to dealer. I live north of Monroe, MI. anybody know of any GOOD dealerships in the area.
