oil leak problems

hey guys, i seem to be having a little oil leak problem here , let me give you a little history on the truck. I purchased an 01/94 f250 diesel with a dropped valve , I just so happened to have a 6.9 in the garage . so a week later im driving it around and I go to pull into the gas station and the steering wheel gets very hard then back to normal , I stop at the pump look under and see oil everywhere! so I let it cool as im looking to find the leak and cannot. Start the truck......no leak WTF!! it has done this twice and i cannot find the leak. I can let it idle in the driveway for 30min not a drop , it seems to only happen when i brake moderatly hard. any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Troy

From the steering wheel issue, do you think it's PS fluid?

If not, could your oil pan have a hole in/near the front? That would spill oil, when you are braking moderately hard..

no its oil, the steering problem was due to the oil all over the serp belt.

the truck that the 6.9 came from I drove for 6 mos. with no problems, after removing the motor only sat for another month.

I was thinking it was coming from the oil cooler but it doesnt do it all the time . only when warm and braking.

it's not a hole , when it leaked it blew oil all over the front bumper.
