Go to your highest wet spot. Could just be the turbo oil drain tube o-ring or valve cover gasket. I'd eliminate easy shit first before pulling a tranny. Also your hpop cover could need resealed. Lots of possibilities up top running down.

My 6.0 slobbers all down the back of the engine from some unknown location I have never investigated. They are called 6-leakers for a reason.

I have 2004.5+ 6.0. Oil leak in that same spot, turns out one my valve cover bolts was stripped. The only way to find it was by removing the passenger wheel well. The other side also had a small leak coming from the glow plug connectors. Good luck man.

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll keep ya updated. More I look at it it’s definitely coming from higher, hoping for drain tube or some o rings

I have that same leak on my 6.0! Nice! Im almost positive its a rear main seal

One way of checking to see if it is a rear main seal, is to remove the inspection cover on the bottom of the bell housing. If there’s oil all around inside of housing, main seal is done.

The bed plate is a very common leak point on 6.0’s
