Oil leak problem with my 7.3 !


Hello guys,
Just found that this morning that my motot was leaking from underneat on the passenger side, when i do look under the hood it doesnt seem to have any fresh fluid anywhere... when i go over and start it it starts to pour pretty good ! Like a good 3-5 drops a second ! I normally start it and warm it up a good 10-15 minutes before leaving but this morning i was a little bit more in a rush ! It was pretty warm outside so i thought it would be okay with only a a little less than 5 minutes ! After a couple of minutes i made it rev a little bit under 1000-1500 rpm and then left as i was only driving under 20km. Drove it for about 15 minutes then let it idle as i needed to do somethings with the batteries. It was a little bit hard to start in the morning as my batteries got discharged since i had forgotten the heater on in the truck. Anyway my batteries were showing 12.25v. Took about 3 times to start. If you liok at the picture the oil is coming straight from the side of the engine and pooring down onto the lines. Also comes out a little bit from the drain hole but i am pretty sure its the oil spreading out from higher.... again, no visible leak from the top....

Any body have any idea what it could be ?
Thanks in advance .

could be valve cover gaskets, turbo, or head gaskets. you need to clean the engine good and then look to see if you can find where it is leaking from.
