Anyone have any insight on a oil leak from front of motor driver side. I can for sure see the leak near the power steering pump (went back and forth on if it was engine oil or power steering fluid but looks and feels like engine oil to me). Doesn't leak when idling but after hitting it with brake parts cleaner and a quick drive you can clearly see where it coming down by the power steering pump. Assuming it's the front cover or maybe from the oil cooler somewhere.
After watching some videos I'm thinking it's probably the seal in this area. The leak only shows itself after driving. Just sucks you can't see where the leak is without tearing into the front of it BUT there are much worse problems you can have with a 6.0 lol
The only advice for now is CLEAN the area and above it with a degreaser, thoroughly and let it dry.
Grab a flashlight and inspection mirror, find a friend and run it in the driveway while you monitor it and hopefully it will leak. If not take it for a short drive, and pull over periodically and check.
You'd be surprised how fluids travel and appear to be originate from a different location.
Yep. I've done that twice now. It seems it won't leak unless I drive it. Really no room to see anything even with a cheap endoscope I got from Amazon. May try unbolting power steering pump and moving it. Should be able to get a much better idea at that point.

Do you have the high idle mod? If so try running the engine for a bit on high idle, maybe that will help get the oil leaking.
