oil leak..again

Well, just went under my truck yesterday after getting it back from Orlando Fl dealership for the dreaded RMS oil drip..they dealership replaced a CMP sensor o-ring and RMS to the tune of $521.97 to FORD. I still have the leak.. Any suggestions on what to do next? The only good news is that I told the dealer NOT to mess with the recall and reflash my truck. I just came back from a RT to Tampa and got 21.3MPG @ 65mph using cruise control.

Did the dealer have you drive about 500 miles with dye in the oil? If they don't use the dye test, they are just guessing as to the source of the leak. There are over a dozen possible oil leaks on that motor which will show up as drips on the bellhousing.
