What any mechanic is going to do is wash it off and start it up. With that much oil, it ain't gonna be hard to find that leak. Usually the highest point you see oil will be nearest to the source.

It's going to be your turbo oil supply line. It needs to be torqued to a certain amount of pressure lbs ...or what ever it's called. I had that happen on my Mack CHN when the turbo was replaced. If it's not at the correct lbs per pressure the oil will find a way out. Start with the oil supply line. You might just need to tighten the bolts
stayinback Thanks this. -

Hopefully it's something simple like a loose hose. Like Robert 450 said if it's the blowby tube you got a serious problem, I'd be giving that dealership a call.

Unless I missed it somewhere, what Cat model is this?

At this point It could be anything. To say it's the oil line to turbo is a wild stab in the dark
Like others have said already
Just start it up on high idle and look for the dripping. Follow it up to the source . That's one heck of a leak, shouldn't be hard to findWheeljack, starmac and Roberts450 Thank this. -

Look on the top of valve cover and be sure the oil filler cap is in the big hole it goes in??
