Oil Dripping!!!
I guess I am finally sick of my truck dripping oil and I wanna fix it.
from what I have read in here, I think it is the turbo pedistal O-rings or the EBPV leaking. there is constanly oil on the back of the engine and it only drips for about 15 minutes after shutdown. I can't really tell which one it is but I was just curious as to how hard either of these are to fix, once I finally figure out which one it is.

If you are still under warranty, take the truck to Ford and let them deal with it!
It is likely the turbo pedestal bolts are loose and/or the o-rings need to be replaced. I haven't done it (dealer did it), but I understand that only access to that part of the engine compartment is the difficult part of the job.
Mine looked like the rear main seal was leaking. It wasn't.

Whoops - just looked at your Gallery. You have a 1997 - not under warranty. Now I'm not sure that what I said is true for your engine.
