You have the wide-ratio ZF5 transmission. Unfortunately we here can't really tell you where your transmission is leaking from.

The best thing you can do is get like 3-4 cans of de-greaser or brake-cleaner, and thoroughly clean the outside of the transmission. Once the transmission is clean, drive the truck a bit and see where it starts to get wet with oil. There's your leak.

First thing you need to figure out is it coming from the motor and being blown back or the transmission ...

The typical ZF5 leak is the shift tower.
