Any thoughts from the one pic??

I think he is referring to the thumbnail on the number eight (8) post.

Is there oil on the insulation on the bottom side of the hood? Have you tightened the 4 boots around the trubo (blue, black, & 2 orange)? Don't over tighten them. Have you verified it is oil and not fuel?

How quickly does the truck lose oil? The best thing to do is go ahead and clean things up, then watch to see where the oil starts coming from. You could also try to find some dye for the oil, and chase the leak with that. Can you give us any more pictures from different angles?
