Welcome Brandon

IIRC there is a metal flap or something that can rattle on these turbos. The turbo drain can leak.

So more than likely thats where the oil is coming from then

Welcome

If the turbo shaft has play, it will damage the oil seal and let it leak down from there if it's not all leaking into the exhaust pipe.

The leak could also be coming from a valve cover. Best thing to do is clean off the engine real good and try to watch where the leak stars from again.

Also check your valve covers. I have had some pretty good leakers there also.

If the bearings are out then the seals will let it leak down into the exhaust manifold, down pipe, out both sides of the intake, and out any mating surface.

As said valve covers can leak too

Cleaning the grounds will eliminate a lot of issues.

EDIT: I see Tanner already mentioned grounds.

A lot of people want the crew cab mechanical IP truck. I made my 96 that way.
If yours has a red interior then is worth more

 

[Bad BowTie]

And it is not red wut a bummer

 

[Burning oil]

I'd still let it in my driveway.

 

[tanman_2006]

I can let some things slide for the rare crew cab 4x4 5 speed 93 model.

 

[Bad BowTie]

I have an 86 doing just that sitting in my drive way

You just got it, so be patient. It might cost a little to get it rolling good, but these trucks a very low cost long term. You'll get your money back if you stick it out.
