07 f550 problems

[bulldog77]

The company I run has a 07 550 deleted that has been nothing but a headache since we bought it. A couple months ago I replaced the up pipes, the injectors on the driver side and radiator. I drove it for the couple months pulling equipment and so forth with no problems. I was pretty happy on how it was running. I gave it to one of our employees to take to St. Louis and he got 20 miles down the road and it gelled. He got it going again but now it is leaking oil all over the back of the motor. The back of the turbo is covered in oil also. We got it back to the shop and I went and started it and it started but smoked like hell in the engine compartment. We went to unload it from the trailer today and it turned over a couple revolutions and than started grinding against the flywheel. I really haven't dug into it yet but anyone have any suggestions?

Oil feed line on top of turbo or, hopefully hpop cover leaking and not rear cover. Possible IPR blow out, but I doubt it. Also needs starter rebuilt.

After some more research it looks more and more like a ipr blowout. The up pipes are covered the worse with oil than any other place. Thanks.
