6.0 oil leak
got quite a bit of oil all over the cross member and underneath the engine between the radiator and front of the engine any ideas heard crank seals are pretty common and i just bought a cold air intake straight pipe intake manifold sct chip egr and oil cooler so money is tight now
Check your intercooler boots at the intercooler, I bet the oil is seeping out of them, very common, caused by the vent tube that comes out of the drivers side valve cover and goes to the intake before the turbo. if you are getting oil out of those boots it may be time to replace them, try Mandrel Bending Solutions.com for boots, a lot better priced and material then the stock Ford units.
the blue hose by the bottom of the radiator is covered in gunk and there all a lil oily

perfectly normal, there is a mod people do to keep the oil out of the intake, they rout the vent tube toward back of truck. the blue boots will get so soaked that they may begin to pop off. oil inside the CAC tubes,intercooler,and intake is normal for a 6.0
I would not rule out turbo. It's not that hard to remove intake and check shaft play. I noticed the samne thing. Untl il started runnin out of my tail pipe, I thought nothing of it. Then I checked my turbo and it was plumb shot. Easy ta check. I have for sale a rebuild if ya need it.you may not find much in/out play. But my compressor wheel was nearly hittin the wall and u cud audibly hear the bearing bang when I moved it.
