Head studs on but have an oil leak

I finally got the cab on and truck started! got it started and idles good. but when it got to temp there was an oil leak on the back side of the motor starting from the top and runnin down the heads. but i think its the hpop area because when i go to start the motor you can crank for about 10 secs before the oil psi gauge moves then it slowly moves up and then the truck starts. if the hpop cover gasket is leaking would that cause the low pressure?

Check the turbo feed line in the center of the valley. Mine had this problem after the dealer cleaned the turbo.
