Could be both. The drain hole from the valley is on the back pass. side and whatever is leaking will run down there.

You may have a small fuel leak. There is a ton of stuff in the valley that can leak fuel. Could even be a fuel pump (DOH!). Do you have a "Cali" model or a "Fed" (49 state)? I see you have a signature already but if you add you truck "spasifix" it will help us all out a lot.

Nice looking truck.

Oil leaks in the valley are usually o-ring related. Bob is a sponsor here and can take care of you in the o-ring department. Replacement O-rings for Ford Diesel Engines

You just need to clean things up and figure out where the leak is coming from. That or get some dye and a black light and look for the leak that way. In the mean time, carry extra oil with you. Your fuel injectors run off of engine oil so the truck will run bad or stall if the oil gets too low.
