oil leak
I went out with a cup of coffee this morning and decided to look under my hood. When I did I noticed oil on the underside of the hood. It appears to have been sprayed. There was oil arounnd the tube going in to EGR cooler and on the oil filter cap. I cranked it and let it run for thirty minutes and didnt notice any leaks. I had the coolant flushed this week also. Any ideas? The Truck is running good with no issues. I'm not running any tunes (unless po did) but it does have an after market intake. Stock gauges seem fine ( know they suck). I am a very novice diesel guy.

Install new clamps also and keep the old ones for emergencies only. Note that they have a torque value for tightening.
