Nope, its just a shame that the news sensationalizes things so quickly.

All they had to say was "a suspicious device has been located and we are taking precautions to ensure the publics safety", but no. Its a bomb and they ran with that. Now they look dumb.

That is right on the nose Tim. The news has to sensationalize everything to scare people into watching what is going on. It's why I only watch it long enough for the weather.l Once I see the weather I change the channel.

Bedplate oil leak from the looks of the pics. Hard to tell though.

Yup, a know 6.0 leak source. Basically the plate between the block and oil pan that the rod caps bolt to it. They warp and leak. Throws oil on the sensors and causes issues. Sometimes appears to be a rear main seal leak. Its actually a pretty easy fix, just labor.

this seems to be coming from higher up though... that first picture is where the manifold bolts to the side of the engine.. which the valve cover sits right over it...

There is a plug up there to a sensor. ICP or something that leaks as well. Might be something as simple as a valve cover gasket. The pics make it hard to tell.
