Default Oil coming out of up pipes

Right after doing my injector o-ring and glow plugs I started my truck and I noticed oil leaking. So I checked it out and it was leaking from the flange a couple inches down from my turbo on my up pipes. If I idle it up a stream of oil comes threw it. Now my truck cranks over like it has no compression then starts. I noticed oil dampness around the bolts of my turbo and where my downpipe connects to my turbo. I think it is my turbo leaking but I really have no idea, please help!

The oil and fuel from pulling the injectors has to go somewhere... After a swap or oring replacement it is best to run it hard for 10-20 miles... Then after about 50-100 all the air will be purged out of the lines and it will start up normally...

If you went through the trouble to pull the injectors just to change orings you should have invested in at least a stock reman set of injectors... To me it's not worth the time to do all that when more then likely you have worn injectors...

I couldn't afford some reman injectors but I noticed blue on startup more then usual so I just did the o-rings to see if anything changed, it ended up being my turbo o-rings so I had to pull it and I rebuilt it. I guess it's fix something and create another problem? Thanks for the reply though!
