Oil pan leak help

Attached some photos. My f250 has a pretty bad oil leak and I thought it was the gasket but after looking it seems it’s coming from a hardline coming out of the pan. Any tips on how to fix? First time trying to fix an oil leak.

Hard line coming out of the pan? There isn’t one from the factory or are you talking about the dipstick tube?

Indeed that is the dipstick tube. You could pull it and put a fat O-ring on there, or some gasket goo that you've shaped as best you can and let dry a little before inserting it. It's a little tricky to get the tube out with the exhaust manifold and other stuff in the way, but it can be done.

By the looks of things, you need to clean the engine!
How can you tell where the oil is leaking from?
I do not see any fresh oil, only 30-40 years of build up.
