Moking 24V

I just pulled my truck earlier at the F.A.R.M tractor show and got 298ft. Heres the thing, after I got done It was leaking oil out from the front of the motor. I have the edge comp box and 80hp injectors also used my buddys superchips programmer too. I also have tranny done with Suncoast stuff.When I last looked I was building 40psi boost. Help me please.

where exactly is the oil coming from?

I haven't looked extremely close but all I know is it's coming from the upper front of the engine. Taking it apart today or tomorrow and then will know exactly. If it is the head gasket what are the ones that the big voys use that are o-ringed and all that. So they can hold some power.

Big Boys use I mean, Not voys

At idle, with the hood up, can you hear any unusual noises from the engine? Does the engine still idle OK? Has it appeared to have lost any power? Does it start OK? Is there any sign of unusual smoke or if it smoked a lot in the past, is there a change in the color of the smoke? Check the oil with the dipstick and see if it has changed color. If so, to what color? Smell the oil and see if it appears to stink any differently.
Answering all the above questions may help us to figure out if your problem is a blown head gasket.
Is there any way you can figure out exactly where the oil is leaking from? You say the oil is leaking from the front of the motor, but how high up?

What Mexstan said!! Start at bottom and go higher till you stop seeing oil coating. Also, Ck your oil dipstick and coolant...Lost any of either one?

Forgot something.
When it is cranking over, just before it fires, does it sound as tho one cylinder is turning faster than the others? If possible disable the fuel solenoid to prevent it firing and listen for even cranking while cranking it for about 3-4 seconds.
Also, with it idling, place your ear near the exhaust outlet and listen for any unusual beat.
One other test that is not directly related to a head gasket but may be a guide, is to listen closely to the exhaust and have someone shut the motor off. On a diesel it may help to hold the RPM at about 1000-1200 and then shut it off. Listen for any sounds of wheezing or anything unusual.
Of course, a really good test is a compression test, but that is a last resort due to all the work involved.

It's the head gasket. I got it out today and almost all of the cylinders had blow by spots on it. Gonna order one and should be all good then. Enterprise Engine said they just run stock ones in theirs.

Mexstan

Thanks for letting us know, but I am curious about that oil, Was the gasket blown badly enough that it went thru an oil passage? If so, the engine must have run rough or given some other indications other than just the oil leak.

they run stockers in all theirs, but they're also running o-rings!
