Turbo oil line leak?

[Backwall]

So, 2015 1500 eco ram 2wd
Notice oil hitting the ground from rear of motor, it has cover trans so I figured oil turbo feed line. After removing, harness, both fuel rails and so on I found myself in the valley. There is standing oil and the bank fitting that goes back into motor shows wet…that should be the issue.

now my worry/question

as seen it pics. One side of the intake is wet-ish and heavier build up of carbon than the passenger side. Is this bad and if so what do I do next?

I had hoped to do a weight reduction on the egr and all of that mess soon but I have read on here about crank case pressures and now I have 200 questions on that lol. First things first tho ….

-is the moisture the end of the road for this truck

End of the road? Sure you could treat it as a throw away but problems are most all solvable.

Emissions intact you could have soot from an intake leak, but yes Turbo oil Supply or even seal on drain Tube are plenty likely. Transmission removal to repair or listen to the book and lift the cab. You may have a complete Turbo failure too.

Opening the billfold to resurrect it won't be cheap but it'll beat the heck out of new payments.

Okay, thanks for the help!!
How will I know if I have a turbo failure.

Well for me it was implausible toque codes and some others. I thought maybe vgt actuator so ordered a salvage one, sucky job laying across the engine working at the firewall but you can remove an e clip and move the vane actuator linkage rod. Mind only moved .25-.5 inch rather than inch and a half on the operable Turbo. It wasn't great but they're readily available and inexpensive salvage parts.

Just takes some thorough diagnostic rather than throwing parts at it just because.

If yours is oil though typical it'd be oil through intake or exhaust, you have external so more inclined to look at drain line, grommet, or Feed lines/banjo fittings and seals. Similar to a brake line to caliper.
