Does the truck run rough? Does it smoke? Is it using coolant? An injector or a crack somewhere in a forward cylinder like #1 could be dumping a lot of fluid into the exhaust manifold and it is seeping out from the port areas. Fuel and coolant can look like oil when it mixes with exhaust carbon. A crack in the cylinder head leaking coolant into the exhaust port would do it.
