Default 6.5 oil leak

I have a 94 that was leakin oil bad 1gal in 140miles. All i know is it was leaking on to the manfold. i had replaced the passenger side head gasket about 3 months prior.

My question is does this just sound like a head gasket failure?

If you have oil coming out your head gasket something is majorly wrong. Which side of the engine is it leaking on? Could be oil cooler lines...

not a head gasket. im thinking you have rotted out oil cooler lines or the connectors broke. it also could be the oil pan gasket. but probably no t that much oil. it could be a combo of the two

they run from the tranny to in front of the radiator. they got a hard plastic sleeve on them that you can move a few inches.

is it 4x4? if so the orings in the 90 degree oil filter adapter are probably leaking, a very common issue with the 6.5

Gotta be the cooler lines, when replacing them dont get a stock setup again, they will fail quickly, get a set of braided ss lines...
