What's Leaking
I have a 2005 F250 built in October 2004.Has only 9300 miles on it .I only drive it when I am hauling something.Runs great.But I have noticed something being blown up on the underside of the hood.I don't know much about these things ,but there is a cast aluminum 90 degree elbow in the front center of the engine about 3 inches in diameter held on buy 4- 8 milimeter hex screws.Appears to be coming from the bottom of that.The screws are tight.I am not talking about a lot of fluid. Just enough to stain the hood and get on the top of the oil filter and cowl between the engine and windshield.Hasn't made it to the floor.Fluid levels are full.Should I be concerned?

This what your talking about?http://dan.prxy.org/Truck/6L_bible_h.../Page_038.html
Oil is probably coming from the ventilation tube located here. Another source is when you change engine oil and do not have the oil filter cap sealed tight.

Thanks.May be from the filter cover.I changed it myself at about 4000 miles.I'm afraid to really crank on that cover.A wrench to fit it is two feet long and I expect you could break it pretty easily.
