is your truck smoking at take off ? could be turbo seals..

 

no truck isn’t smoking at all!

 

Possibly valve cover gaskets, oil would run down and may get on the manifold. The exhaust manifold itself would not have enough oil to puddle on the floor unless the turbo seals were completely out or a blown cylinder, ..otherwise the oil would just burn off and make smoke.

As @Heavy_GD mentioned ...got smoke? (blue smoke for oil)

Look for something leaking toward the top of the engine and dripping onto the manifold first.

any way to trouble shoot to see if it’s the vc gasket or the turbo seal?

 

The glow plug harness is a common leak point too.

 

truck is not smoking at all. it’s really wet around back manifold and i could be wrong. but seems to be oil coming out of one of the exhaust manifold bolts where it bolts to motor. when it’s idleing you can see oil/ or something bubbling out from behind the bolt.

 

The GP harness connections are right above the manifold bolt. If it leaks, it will run right down to the bolts. See pic.
Valve cover gasket as well.

 

i will check that once i get off work, thanks guys for all the info. really appreciate it!

 

Pull the fender liners and you can see in pretty well, also an endoscope that uses your phone or tablet would allow you to see in places a mirror will not.

 

thank you! i will post an update once i get home and check everything again. thank you all for your advice!
