Did I ruin my engine? (KZJ) (1 Viewer)

[Triplefat]

After about 4 months of sitting I finally got my 95 KZJ71 running. I wasn’t getting fuel and after chasing a bunch of things like fuel lines, filters, glow plugs, I finally figured it out when I got the capacitor’s on my ECU replaced and it fired right up. Took it for a spin and everything seemed to be running fine till I pulled back into the driveway and saw a little puddle of oil Prior to the no start issue I didn’t have any oil leaks, maybe a drop or two but nothing crazy, this is pretty much a steady drip now. I crawled under and it seems to be coming from between the bolts on the right side engine mount. But when I look above that I can’t see clearly where it’s coming from. My fear is did I crack my block somewhere around the engine mount? When the truck initially died on me I was at a friends so I tried a bunch of things to get it started including starter fluid and although nothing crazy seemed to happen I did read later you shouldn’t do that. I’m going to get some brake clean and really clean up the area so I can get a better look with a mirror. I had a leaky valve cover gasket that mucked that side of the engine up so it’s hard to see well. I wish I could post a video but I circled the area in red where I see one to two drips landing every second. Any ideas?

Right below the oil filter? Check that sucker first.

Check around the oil filter housing. There’s a weep hole there. You might be missing a hose that connects to it, which could be causing oil to spill onto the motor mount. Just make sure the oil filter is tight. I also noticed a wet area near the intake manifold on your photo, so you might want to take a look at that as well.
