oil leak

I have a 94.5 powerstroke. I have a small oil leak and I can see a puddle of oil on top of the intake. What can this be from? It also seems my power at highways speeds has decreased. Could the oil be from my turbo? If so would an oil leak decrease my power?

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Check your high pressure oil lines going to the fuel rails on the heads. Could be turbo, fuel lines that look like oil leaks. Get a flashlight and mirror and look in the valley real good. Hope that helps get you started.

Check the Plugs in the end of the heads too. I just fixed a leaky O-ring on the passenger side High Pressure Oil resevoir on my 97. The oil was leaking down the center of the intake to the back of the engine. ........Good Luck!
