I think my 6.0 just ruined itself. I need some advice.

I'm thinking you might have to clean up as much as possible, with brake cleaner. The whole top valley of the motor, assemble everything and try cranking it with out starting, there is a relay you can pull to prevent starting this should get the low oil pressure flowing as well as the Hpop cranking out the high pressure oil. This should be very easy to locate the source. Make sure you cover that oil drain hole in the Hpop cover to prevent any gunk from flowing into it
It is hard from your pics to discern oil from PB blaster left overs, do you have a inspection mirror, the Hpop cover that the ipr is connected to. The cover, there is a seam that needs sealant to seal it I see that could be a source, then the rear cover on the back side of the block that could be torn up but you may need a mirror to see. I'm trying to find a link between the coolant loss and oil gushing and can't think of how they are related

Absolutely you can. I'm just not so sure if there will be anything obvious in there. It is a pump. With a couple gaskets, when I did my work on mine I never tore into the Hpop, so others can tell you if the gaskets are reusable or not, then you will need sealant to seal the part that crosses the rear cover part. So it would be a gamble once you take off the cover. If it is the stc fitting that rubbed a hole in the rear plate you would be able to see it at that point, but if I recall if that was the part you would trailer it to fix

LOL!!! More like 2-3 hours for me!! LOL. I'm getting better at it though. I've learned a ton so far too. After digging some more, it looks like it could be coming from the left rear of the HPOP. About where the heat shield mounts to the lid of the HPOP. Still not sure. I'm thinking about going ahead and pulling the HPOP and checking the STC while there. I guess I should go ahead and replace it if it's not the newer one huh?
Thanks!

There are videos on this, I got a new kit with mine and never used it because mine was replaced under warranty when mine started spewing oil while driving on my way to work. See the video here Check out this video on YouTube:

You were right. It took forever but I got it. I went ahead and picked up the kit for the hpop and replaced the stc ( it came with it). I'm still unsure where this leak came from. I'm considering bighting the bullet and getting the bulletproof diesel oil cooler bypass and egr cooler. I'd really like to keep this truck but the wife is actually wanting me to trade it in on a new gas burner since it's starting to cost more to maintain it. I look at it like this...even if I spend a couple grand on it, it's cheaper than making monthly payments on a new one.

Well, I think I finally found the culprit!!! After buying that kit and changing out the O-rings on the HPOP, I was taking out that last aluminum bolt that is on top of the HPOP and when I got it out, I saw that the o-ring was trashed. I knew something wasn't right when oil started coming out of it before I even put a allen wrench to it. Is this wishful thinking or does this happen very often?

Very interesting thread!
That o ring does not look right to me....
I was working on a 6.0 the other day, and the water drain bolt on the fuel pumps o ring looked just like that one, it dripped fuel when sitting and when running it was a steady stream.....what im getting at is it looks like you found whats causing the oil leak...but what would cause that o ring to do that? IDK....
Nice looking truck btw!
