John Deere 730 Diesel Bad Oil Leak

Looking for some info or some trouble shooting help. Was driving my dads 730 Diesel home to my place today. I was about 5 miles out and smoke started rolling out from under the hood. I promptly pulled over and shut it down. It is leaking oil out from what appears above the fan shaft in the very front. It is leaking pretty steady when it is running. The oil looks very thin like it has diesel fuel in it. I started it to try and determine where the leak is but could not pin point it with the sheet metal on. The gauge was showing that it was carrying good oil pressure and had the correct oil level in the case. Anyone seen this or have any ideas where to look first? Tractor hasn't been used much in the last few years and I was taking it to my place to mow pastures with to give it a work out. I will be picking it up with the trailer in the morning and will try to pull the hood off.

Thanks in advance.
