In the second pic the fuel line looks wet. Check to see if it smells like diesel at the bracket. The fuel line can rub on the bracket and cause a leak. If your leaking 1/2 quart every 500 miles you don't have a major leak. Best thing to do is clean everything up. A common oil leak is the dipstick tube as it goes into the oil pan.

Yes that is the fuel line. It tends to rub through on that bracket that it goes through.

last of the pics for now. anything you guys want pictured to help diagnose?
i wiped that trans pan and stuff down last night when i got home to see if that would tell me where its leaking from, thats why its so shiny. i cant beleve how much oil gets built up there overnight, seems almost like its running down into the inspection cover and then out the drain on it or the lip.

Great pics. I can definitely see the puddle. Check to make sure it's not diesel. It could be mixing with all the old sludge and appearing to be a oil leak. The pics in post 22 kind of looks like a fuel leak.

Like I said before that fuel line looked wet at the bracket. You could take off the bracket and clean up the line then start the truck and check for leaks. Stick your finger in the puddle and see if it thinned out like it's mostly fuel. The smell test would also be a good indication. You really need to clean everything up then check for leaks. Some of the pics have so much crud built up on them that it is hard to tell what you are looking at. I see you did the ccv mod. A lot of the crud is probably from leaking boots.
