Did you pull the engine to do this, how did you take the pan off?

YouTube - 54% duty cycle

At the end of this video, is that the light you are seeing? Called the SES light or on the OBS trucks (95-97) a CEL...

If so I would bet its from ICP (injector control pressure) or Overboost. Chip or programer?

2003 f-350 7.3 Lariat qaud cab short wheel base 8in lift sittin on 38in open country m/t

well put it this way and no offense to any one, i drained the oil to try and reseal the pan, when i got done i put the new oil in and before i even started the engine it was leaking and yes from the pan right where it dips around the crankshaft.

well the first time with just sealer (gasket maker) that didnt work so i cut a gasket out of cork gasket maker along with more sealer

If it is the oil pan (and it could be) the only way to fix it is to pull the motor, turn it over and clean everything very well, let it dry and then install a new gasket.

I hear you, these are what I refer to as sidebars, though probably inappropriate.

That's likely to be the fuel drain O-rings. Easy fix.

How bad is this leak? Drips down steady until below normal fill or what?

What he said. A couple O rings and its fixed. One way to avoid it again is to cycle the drain every time you open the hood.
