The glow plug harness is clean and dry. The leak starts at the top of the starter. Everything else on the top and sides is dry.
Starter and transmission are oily.
My two suspecions are 1) HPOP possibly leaking externally from a seal????
or 2) Bed plate (if thats the case it ain't gonna get fix anytime soon)

I pulled out the fender well cover.
I was able to get better pictures: I think I have found the CULPRIT!!!!!!!
But I still don't know what the oil is coming from.
These photo's show the same oil leak:

I was looking through a couple of PDF's trying to figure that out.
Could possibly explain my very intermittent no/long starts.
I don't know though, maybe I should buy the STC upgrade and gaskets and just do it one weekend. Probably wouldn't hurt. After seeing that oil leak that high up, I don't think that it the bed plate by its self.
I am sure I have a bed plate leak still, but I doubt this is why I have the increased oil loss.

HPOP cover would be by guess as well. I have never heard of the IPR leaking but if it was you would think it would be the other side.

Maybe just the back side of the HPOP since I don't have anything in the valley?
Thanks Mike

I looked every where around the turbo pedestal. I did not see any oil. Nothing is wet anywhere until I looked at that one spot I referenced and on down to the starter and transmission.
