Got an little problem
My 03 f250 5.4 has got an serious problem, I got oil dripping from somewhere around the oil pan and its dripping right on my y-pipe, and when it does that of course when the y-pipe is hot its burns the oil, so there is an burning oil smell and of course some smoke, having troubles finding out where the oil is coming from, truck only has 82,000 on it, no lights come on the gauages, cause if its dripping oil from someplace sooner or later the low oil level light will come on

I would suggest a complete inspection of the motor. I suspect valve covers or intake manifold area.
Shine a light and wipe it all down when the motor is cold and then see if you can determine it.
They do make dye for oil that you can use as well. Check your oil often while you are figuring it's location.

Passenger side valve cover gasket back side is probable where the oil is coming from. That's where my '99' leaked from. I believe the early engine(5.4) in the superduty was an issue for some.
