Default Oil leak!

Hey guys I come to your wisdom yet again. I noticed my truck was leaking oil last night, about a quarter size spot looks like it's coming from where the trans and Motor meet. Kind of same spot where fuel leaks out the back of the valley. Where should I be looking for this bastard at?

Look in the valley of the motor. Most likely its a turbo pedistal O ring, but it could be a HPO leak as well.

proably somwhere. you need to pull the turbo from pedistol. there are 2 o rings there. then pull the pedistol from the block. 2 orings there. not sure how to test the GP's but you need to pull hte VC's, then a 10 mm deep scocket, 1/4" drive.
