Oil leak help

good morning. new to me excursion 6.0. I have a oil leak on rear of the engine block passenger side. Driver side is dry. Seems to be dripping onto the starter and than the trans cooler lines. Obviously space is so limited to see where the oil leak is originating from. Any common places to start my oil leak search?

I recently got rid of all my oil leaks on my 05 6.0.

I had oil running down the back of my block - both sides.
traced it up to the valley.

I replaced every oring in that valley from the hpop fitting and orings to the egr orings to the fuel filter housing orings.

I noticed a majority of my leak was coming from my oil pressure switch and the hpop cover.

Been 1500 km since my "reseal" and my truck doesn't leak a drop of anything...its amazing.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but where is the oil pressure switch?

Behind your oil filter housing on top of the oil cooler.
It's the only one wire connector in that area.
