T180 spewing oil out back of engine, white smoke

While I was working in my bobcat today, I realized white smoke coming out the back (but not the exhaust). When I shut it down, I realized it was also spewing engine oil (tasted and smelled it!) out the fan vents. I couldn't identify the exact source of the leak, but it seemed to be coming from the back of it. Basing myself off of various tutorials and videos, I started disassembling the engine, removing the valve cover. Has anyone removed the head? Seems like I need to disconnect the fuel lines, glow plugs, turbo, etc.

    have you checked the turbo supply & return lines?
