My turbo pedestal was leaking, so me and my old man put new O-rings on where the pedestal mounts to the engine, and where the turbo mounts to the pedestal. But I am still noticing oil leaking and I cant think of where it is coming from.

EBPV? Did you clean it all up while everything was out? Should be able to find the source if it's all clean.

Are you sure its not diesel leaking?

Sometimes a diesel fuel leak is mistaken for an oil leak in the valley and the way it drains off the back of the engine.

drain valve on back of fuel filter housing also theres the HPOP lines that leak its common also ICP sensor can leak oil through it HPOP gasket or even IPR valve leaking clean everything as best you can and go for a drive then look for fresh oil

You either didn't get an oring installed correctly or the ebpv rod leaking.

Or something else is leaking like he suggested ^^

Yes, me and my dad used a mix of diesel fuel and tranny fluid coated the valley and scrubbed it for a good hour, and then cleaned it off and dried it. We drove it around for a little and when we got back into the shop we didn't see any wet spots. I only noticed it recently when I drove to Georgia from Texas.

Probably the EBPV rod like others said. Found small evidence of that when I removed mine this week.

my truck was the devil trying to find a leak for months in the valley ended up being a pin hole leak above the HPOP where the case separates the gasket there was leaking.
