I need a little help!!!!
I have been on here in the past askn about oil leaks on my psd. I have cleaned the moter and the only place as of know is between the #7,#8 excaust manifold and the head on both sides. I can not find any lines that run through there. The back of the heads have a oil residue on them but are not wet. There is more oil on the pass side than the driver side so it appears. I can not see any oil on top leakn any were accept my fuel lines that go from i assume the pump to the head they are braded line they are just a little wet i dont think this is it. Any info would be appreciated. GUYS THANKS for your time

If it in fact is oil that far to the front of the truck on the drivers side, might be your oil cooler. (the long tube thing that your oil filter screws into) It is connected to the engine right at the front, and has a fist full of various sized O-rings that have a history of failure.

I thought the braided lines were the HPOP lines. I don't have a pic, maybe someone else will post. Many leaks up top will drain out the back, and end up near tranny inspection cover and starter. A bump at least.

Make sure its not fuel that you are seeing. It can get mighty oily looking after dripping off dirty parts. Your fuel line connects at the back of the pass side head and they are known to leak. Hard to see with the spider in the way but you can feel it when the engine is cool enough to reach in there. Good luck.
