oil leak help

Tranny is out of the truck so its time to locate and fix my oil leak. valley is dry and it only leaks when running. I just checked my valve covers and everything was tight (and fairly dry from what i could tell). The oil is being burned on my drivers side up pipe- everything on the passenger side is dry. Is it likely to have a plug on the back of the head leaking? Im losing about a gallon a week! Any ideas? Also, the passenger side up pipe is leaking. What type/ where can I find these gaskets? Thanks

Well a gallon of week is probably too much for the o-rings on the pedestal of the turbo I'm assuming?

Im assuming. Bottom of the turbo is dry from what I can tell. Ill pull the up-pipes this week and get a better look. Also I would imagine that if it were an oring on the turbo that both up-pipes would have oil on them, not just drivers wouldnt they? Just looking for advice ahead of time so I know where to start.

Most likely, I would just start at the top of the motor and work your way down, just as you have done so far. Hope you get it figured out!

its more than likely the oring on the high pressure oil rail

As best as possible could you try and explain that to me? where would the o-ring be?
