anyway we got done at the shop and i took it over and washed the engine again , so i have driven about 15miles and i just got under it
the big hose on the bottom right front of the motor , next to the 2 small trans lines has a hole in it, and i think it is coming from there
what is the name of that big hose?
and i guess i should ask if that hose should have oil inside it?

I would guess it's part of the intercooler tube that feeds the turbo-boosted air to the intake manifold. It could be your turbo is leaking crankcase oil from the engine - is my first suspicion. -Just like mine did when the turbo manfunctioned. If it's the turbo, I am going from a long time ago, but I am thinking it was about a $2K +/- MB repair, (IIRC.) Who sez these newish turbodiesels are cheap to fix/repair in parts. Check it out with your mechanic.
