Needs some Major help

While Driving from NC to AL yesterday morning. I noticed that was a small puddle of oil underneath. So check dipstick, it read about a quart low. So I added a quart and went to dad's house. where i discovered that was all the way down the left side mainly but it had also hit the drive and throw it every where. I checked the oil filter, it was tight. I most noticed oil on driver side of truck, and none on passengers side. I was wondering if any of you could give guidance on what i areas I need to be looking at. I have a 2002 F250 Crew Cab with 7.3L Diesel. Any suggest is very much appreicated.

Try looking in the valley of the motor. You may be leaking oil from the turbo pedistal.

I mentioned my problem over on the super duty side of here. One person mentioned a high pressure oil line that is at the back of the engine. Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks for all your help.
