Default Help!!! Got a bad oil leak!

I've had my 95 7.3 for about 2 months now and when I got it it didn't really leak any oil just a drop sometimes. Well about 2 or 3 weeks ago it started leaking a little more. Since I've had it I've noticed so oil on the intake tube. Last weekend I added some oil and while the hood was up I decided to tighter up the hose clamps on the intake and ever since then it's leaking ALOT worse. There's some oil on the pedastal and on top of the motor under the turbo. I also noticed some oil on the tire but I'm not sure if it's coming out of the exhaust or if it's from the oil dripping off the motor. What do i need to do to get it to stop leaking? I don't know anything about diesels so sorry in advance if I don't understand the replies. Thanks!

Also, there is oil on the clamp that connects the intake pipe to the turbo... I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Too much oil to be blow by... I guess I'll change the o rings and see if it helps. I'll try to post some pics later after work.
