Oil problem
 
Got my truck out last week and ran it pretty hard a couple times when I got back to the shop it was covered in oil. The driverside engine bay is covered and the whole side of the truck was covered it was even dripping in spots. It doesn't leak at idle and I spooled it up to 40 till I pushed throw the brakes and still no oil. But as soon as u run it hard down the road it leaks. Any ideas on what it could be or if there's anything I can do. Thanks, Zeb.

Too many places for a leak to take a guess.Engine oil or power steering oil?
You will need to wash it off and run it to find which area it is leaking from.
You will be very lucky to see a leak without cleaning.
Places to look, lift pump,injection pump, side cover, oil pan,front cover, front crank seal,vacuum pump if fitted, power steering pump or valve covers.

Sorry bout that its engine oil. I thought maybe the front main seal was leaking and the fan was blowin it back to the motor but its dry. So I was thinkin it was coming from the blow by tube but there's oil clear up on the top of the cold pipe runnin from the intercooler. Only thing up there is the dipstick is it possible some of its blowing out of it or maybe both. It only seems to leak at wot.

Yes it can leak from the dipstick, particularly if it is building a little crankcase pressure when you are getting on it.
Try taping it up and see if that stops it.
But oil can get everywhere from just about anywhere, the air flying around under the hood will spread it everywhere.
Pressure can come from the piston rings or the turbo, is the breather tube clear on the side plate?

Well I found where the oil is coming from. I pulled the dipstick out and clamped a piece of 3/8 rubber hose on it with a bolt in the end then put a 3/4 rubber hose on the blow by tube down to the ground. Then went and drove it after washin the motor as soon as it hit 60 psi I looked back and there was a streak of oil on the road. Is this comman or should I be worried.

Could this be from a blown head gasket.
