I'm leaking oil. Help!



Last night I noticed oil on my driveway. I got up under my truck and it was dripping at the trans. I'm not sure that's where it's actually leaking from because the other side of the oil pan had clean oil on the outside of it. Anyone have any idea what this could be?

Mine had oil there and I just replaced my icp sensor and it was leaking into the plug and all over the back of my engine. My 6.0 is an 03 though. Late 04 and up the icp is on the valve cover and probably wouldn't leave oil there. Could possibly be the ipr though since its on the pump cover.

Almost every oil leak on a 6.0L ends up on the bell housing.

The OP needs to tell us what year model his truck is.

Also, I believe there is an oil leak thread in the Tech Folder. If not, I have some links saved.

He was looking at an 03 last month, not sure if this is the truck or not. If so could easily be the ICP

Nobody else here wonders what the gasket maker is doing on the pan plug?

Stand on a stool with a bright light and look in the valley of the engine. Like said, check the tech folder. There's a few opportunities for leaks up there that all end up dripping where yours is.
You may need to wait until the engine is cold and degrease it and hose it free from oil. Then run it and check for the source of the leak. Could be HPOP cover, oil pressure switch, oil cooler cover, oil filter housing, turbo drain, turbo feed, turbo to CAC hose, ect....
