Default 2001 7.3l Major oil explosion under hood

Help guys. Was driving down street and engine sputtered almost like bad fuel and stalled. Opened hood and oil everywhere. Pretty sure it's hpop related. I chased a leak on the hpop for about a year before finally finding it. So is this a trial and error fix. Do I try and replace lines then pump and even ipr. Don't really wanna replace stuff that's not necessary, could be more costly than needed. Also don't want to tear apart multiple times as the fuel bowl is out so can't run it, unless I can rig something up so I don't have to completely install fuel bowl. Also when tow truck loaded on his deck, oil was running down back of engine. Probably coming out of valley. Need help ASAP as it's my daily driver

Probably HPOP but have you looked back by the turbo for leaks also?

Wipe it all off.
Level the truck
Check the level of the il in the HPOP. If it is low then most likely that is the issue. You have a gross symptom and so the solution should be direct. Look first for the obvious like a broken line, fitting that is off/leaking.
