He never really diagnosed it but changed the front oil seal. I suggest you try and see where it is coming from. That gives you a better idea of what needs to be done.
The oil pan is attached with 30 cap screws and lock washers. Check that they are tight.
The top of your engine around the cylinder heads appears dry and clean on the pictures. Any oil therefore comes from further down. I would spray everything that appears oily with brake cleaner and wash it...
Do yourself a favour and make the temporary fix your permanent fix. Remove the complete flame heater setup and plug the connections. Unless you regularly fire her up in well below freezing you don't need it and if you do need regular cold start help, spring for a KAT 24V ether dispenser that...

15-40 Rotella also. Maybe it is worth running John Deere break in oil for 500 miles or so to. I'd defer to some of the diesel mechanics here...rustystud...whaddayasay?

No negative opinion of the DT466 here.
I think I would want to know for sure that the multi has a real problem before embarking on transplant surgery.
For starters, I would do the preventative maintenance it needs, load it up (5 tons of sand or gravel or whatever) and run it long and "hard"...
Perhaps a good start would be to state that the brakes on your truck are hydraulic in function, with air to assist with the pedal effort. Losing air assist does not mean you are losing the brakes. You will be limited in how hard you will be able to apply the brakes without air assist.
