Default Hello! Im a newly registered member and need help asap!

Okay so I bought a 2003 Ford F-350 6.0 King Ranch pickup around April of this year. My brother and all his friends gave me a lot of Hell about getting a 6.0. They are all into Performance Diesel pickups and kind of know what they're talking about. So I asked my diesel mechanic what the deal was and what I needed to do to prevent all the horror stories I was told. He said that I needed to do a oil cooler delete kit. (Egr had already been deleted when I bought the pickup). So i told him to begin the project. He also replaced the head studs, gaskets, and injector harness. I sank about 10 grand into the pickup since i bought it. After he finished it ran ok for the most part. Lately, i haven't really driven it in the last month because of registration was out. However I didn't start it every other day and let it run for about 5-10 minutes... just to prevent any future mishaps....Yesterday I finally drove it out of town on a 3 hour trip there and back. After I got back I looked underneath the front end of the truck because something didn't quite feel right and there was fluid all over everything everywhere and I wasn't sure which fluid it was because it was dark and late. I decided to deal with it in the morning when o could see better...This morning I get up and go check the oil and lo and behold there is no oil on the dipstick and I look underneath the truck and sure enough that fluid i saw last night was oil. Theres also oil on top of the engine, and all around everything....everywhere....I also when to clarify that I don't rag on my truck and drive crazy like the rest of these teenagers ..I don't even turn my chip up unless I'm towing a trailer and I only turn it up to setting 2 (tow)... can somebody please help me?!?!?!
