Noticed a couple of oil spots in the driveway. Crawled underneath and found the typical oil coming from the back of the engine and bell housing area. Hoped it wasn't the rear main seal or worse. Ended up being the oil fitting to the turbo. The diesel shop I go to also replaced the coolant fitting too because it came loose after a few jiggles of the line. Just letting people know to keep an eye out and maybe take care of it if you're back there.

Didn't mess with the warranty because my emissions stuff fell off and I knew the dealers would look for any reason they could to deny it. $300 out the door. Shop said they've seen a few and knew to check the coolant fitting too.

Yeah thats pretty common on these. Both the coolant fittings and oil fittings. I change the tubes as well due to them rattling around in the fittings.
