Well that's not to high... I don't know bud?

Isn't someone else running there drains into the front of the pan as well? No issues for them?

Its starting to sound like maybe you have excessive crankcase pressure. Have you checked to make sure both crankcase vents are open and venting?

An update incase anyone else has this issue. I ended up doing a few things so I'm not 100% sure what really fixed the problem. I changed Pcv routing from both heads t'ed into one too each head having their own line. I also put a 45 on bottom of turbo to give the drains a better angle toward pan. And last I put a restrictor in the oil feed line. Drove truck a while today and it finally stopped smoking and leaking oil. Thank god cause I was close to setting it a blaze in the driveway...

What size restrictors did you end up using?

I highly doubt going to 45 degree fittings on the drain did it. So my guess is the feed line restrictors slowed the oil flow enough or you did indeed have excessive crankcase pressure.

Either way glad to hear its fixed.

Well by using the 45 it gave me a better angle, which made the line about a foot shorter and a little more of an angle. But It should have drained fine the way I had it. I used a restrictor kit from vibrant that comes with a few different sizes that you can thread in. I actually just bumped it up to the largest size to see if it still drains properly. The last thing I want is not enough oil.
