i have a knock/ leak. the front pass side of the engine you can hear a knock ( my buddy says its a air leak). yesterday when i cracked the front pass injector the engine did not change, tonite i put a new injector in and now the noise goes away a good bit. as for the part im confused about, my buddy swears its the headgasket coming out in the front of the engine, but i have not seen any other signs like oil and coolant mixing, or a loss of power.

long story short im finally stumped any suggestions?

Spray something around that injector and glow plug. It'll bubble If it's leaking.

I don't know, that almost sounds more metallic. Like lifter, valve, connecting rod, etc.
But of course, video always changes the sounds vs In person.
If it's a hg, you should be able to feel air shooting out somewhere.

ya my buddy says he feels it, but i cannot. the chances of a hg blowing the firering out and not going to a coolant or oil passage is low. also the truck has ran like this for a while, to md and back plus more trips.
