Unless the pan has been removed before, it's sealed with Ford TA-31 sealant. Failure isn't unheard of, but it's relatively uncommon. Resealing the pan should be done with the engine upside down, on a stand.

Truck has a new front cover on it, I don't see any evidence of the motor being pulled. So they must have done it in cab, pretty sure you need to lift the motor and drop the pan to do that job correct?

Upon further inspection this morning with a light and mirror, it's not the non serviceable plug. It's the main gasket where it mounts to the front timing cover. Has a steady drip on the bottom opposite side of the lines and plug. Also it bubbles from the top of the gasket aswell. Willing to bet when they did the front plate they reused the old gasket
