Heater Core lines maybe?

Only thing I can think of that goes into the firewall

If you think its coming from the motor take it in. Its under warranty.

Also get rid of that POS filter

Could it also be the EGR cooler hose that is leaking and dripping down to the areas you see?

I thought of that bismic but i cant seem to find the hose to it, i see the egr cooler from the top but no hose connection and im leaning towards the heater core too cause it only seems to be leaking when the truck sits and cools down or when i run the heater

classic symptom for the egr cooler hose to leak cooling down or cold. Just to the left of the oil filter there should be an orange or blue hose in the engine valley. you do have to look close. this is a common leak point.
