Hi Grizz> Also had a similar oil leak. Found the tell tale evidence at the bottom of the fly wheel housing. Dealer put oil die in the engine to locate leak. Truck was in the shop for a day. Dealer said a small leak at a seal some where. Have had the truck back now for a month. Just over 5000 klm. Crawled under the truck yesterday. Oil found in same location again. Good luck finding the leak. Regards, larry

larryjj I had the a similar issue. I have on 05 250 6.0 I bought it with 118 miles on the odometer. I had it in the shop at 200 miles. I noticed a small oil leak coming from the harmonic balancer area. I took it in and they replced some O rings on an oil pump in that area. Got it back a week later. Couple of days go by and leak is back. In the shop another week. THey had to replace the gasket behind the oil pump. Iv had it back 3 weeks now. Tight as drum *knock on wood*.
