Oil leak

Just replaced the hpop, turbo pedestal orings top and bottom, ebpv rebuild, turbo sensor orings, oil rail plugs, fuel bowl orings, oil fill tube, and innercooler orings and gaskets. Ford replaced the rear main seal about a year ago. The rear oil galley plugs appear to be dry. Still my truck pours oil out running off the bell housing. Any ideals?

HPOP lines. One may have a hole in it. Also the fuel line that runs next to the head passenger side get holes in them to, but this is fuel. Under the glow plug relay. It coming from the valley right?

Hpop lines are clean and dry. Definitely oil. Maybe a cup in five minutes.

Wash the crap out of it top to bottom and then start it and watch. If it's leaking that much it should be easy to spot it it's cleaned up first.

yep, i'd start around the HPOP....wash it down and stuff some clean rags around it and all the hoses/plugs and see which one comes out dirty when you pull them out.

Yea that's the problem. I just replaced all that two days ago and cleaned the entire valley. And valve covers when I did it. It was all leaking alittle but hasn't fixed the most if the problem. I can't get a mirror down to the rear of the heads but that is about all that is left. Oh yea, i also replaced the ccv orings.
