Start by examining the enigne. The oil has to come from somewhere, there
should be a place where the oil starts. Maybe clean the engine first.
You also want to look from underneath. My 404 leaked the same way, which
was traced to the oil pressure switch which is located in the top of
the engine, but from underneath, so I never saw it from above.

Take it to a truck garage. They know about diesel engines.
