    If you’ve been idling a lot, then it may be fuel. Rub some of it between your fingers and give it a smell.

    I'll try doing a halo test in a bit didn't think about that. I don't idle aside from warming the truck up in the morning and maybe a little when I'm warming food but it doesn't idle for hours and through the night

    The only way to test it is to pull the turbo off. If no oil in exhaust manifold then it is the turbo. If oil in manifold then there is an issue with the head. You can pull the manifold off and see which hole has oil in it.
