You can always rent the UV light kit
and dump some dye in the coolant and
do a good look for any glow spots after
you do the first fix.

Okay, put a new drain back tube in with new O-rings and gasket. Cleaned everything real good while I had the turbo off and dried it all up, cranked it and let it run a while. Got in there with a good bright light and found the leak on the front of the engine. It's coming out around the bottom of the oil filter housing by the t45 bolt in front by the fuel filter housing. Could I have over tightened it and cracked it or is it an o-ring in there leaking???

It was a cracked oil filter housing, changed it and truck has been fine since!
