A few updates: I've figured out it's not a turbo leak. Likely just a busted CDR spewing oil mist out, plus a valve cover gasket leak, in addition to the RMS leak
Have any of you tried something like this? It's cheaper than a new plug/cord, and seems easier to install too.

I realized the magnetic heater my truck came with is dead, so I was wondering if the frost plug heaters came standard with these trucks, and if so, where is the cord/heater so I can plug my own cord into it. If they're not standard, can I use an inline lower hose heater?
I'm pretty sure it's coming from the turbo, since the valve covers don't seem likely to leak upwards. Here are some pictures from under the turbo. The orange thing is the hot side of the turbo. Sorry about questionable quality pics, it's a tight squeeze. What should I adjust to tighten the oil...
Thanks I'll look into it.
Gotcha. Yeah I'll do that. Just really don't want to deal with the glow plugs under the turbo.
Yeah I guess I can just leave it as is then, or pipe it in.
Got a link to a decent knockoff? Haha. The provent 200 is pretty expensive. I'm looking for something less than $80 ideally.
Was thinking about this, but I'm worried about excessive oil burning because I read it was bad to burn too much oil since it could cause head gasket failure. Sorry I'm...
I'm experiencing issues with a lot of blowby, and oil in my intake. I suspect this is the cause of my oil leaks (high crankcase pressures) and is due to a failed CDR valve. Can I replace my CDR with an oil catchcan? Do you have any suggestions for good products, to ensure good fitment, or a guide?
Thanks guys. I put some stop leak in. Looks like the RMS leak is a lot smaller now, but there is still an oil leak from above, which I suspect is a turbo feed line. I'll look into dealing with this.
Pretty sure it's engine oil. Yeah it doesn't seem to be dripping out of the side of the pan as much, but it's still dripping out of the rear main area. Strange because it doesn't seem to be coming out of the weep hole, but around it. I added some stop-leak and it seemed to help. I'll drive it...
Oil has been dripping out of this spout for a while since I bought my truck. I changed the oil to a synthetic with the proper viscosity, and added in some engine restore + cleaned out the crankcase vent to deal with the excessive crankcase pressure (heard hiss when opening oil cap) and that...
