No pressure lines below the top of the motor. I guess it could be the oil cooler, just not seeing how the oil would get to where you are seeing it. It's pretty tight in there and hard to see the block. I guess if you know it's not above the front main, then that's probably where it is.

I dont think its the oil cooler gaskets really, either Barry, I was just trying to think of oil towards the front that was not above waterpump, the oil cooler comes into the front cover on the driver's side of the motor around the water neck for the water pump.

behind those 4 bolts is your low pressure oil pump. it is contained within that front housing. if they were loose, thats probably where your leak started.

Glad you got it fixed, and welcome to the 7.3 side of FTE!
