Had an independent inspection done and got these pics sent to me. Looks like seeping from left cylinder head, trans pan and steering shaft to me. The truck has 21,000 miles. 871 operating hours with 252 idle hours. I am hoping it is the CCV filter causing pressure seeping that is migrating. Any advice or experience with this would be greatly appreciated
I would be really surprised if it was a CCV issue. I cut mine open on my '22 F450 with 52k miles on it and it didn't have the filters like the older style, just some baffles.

That is interesting. Most of the problem areas seem to be able to be caused by a pressurized CC. It really seems like pressure is pushing fluids through the gaskets or just through the upper oil pan and then its filtering down to collect on the other components. I can't even begin to think what else would cause the seeping at such low miles.
Maybe that one has a different CCV than mine. There never seems to be a method to what trucks get what. Had there been any repairs done recently? My CP4 grenaded regently and when I got it back I noticed some fluids on each side of the block. Guessing it was diesel from the rails which is understandable.

I know what you mean. I've heard that later 22 models had different CCV and the couple videos I've found aren't very helpful. No major repairs that I'm aware of. I just found an article that said the when that upper pan leaks that the oil does indeed cover all the parts in my pictures. Guess I'll hafta pull the CCV off to see if its serviceable or if I just need to reroute it.
I'd take into account the build date, if it has the RP7 there's that.
Neither of my '22's with more miles than that one has any oil sweating like that, but I don't think I'd be too worried about it. if you have a dealer check it before it's off warranty and they don't have a fix at least it would be on record as having an issue. that may or may not help if a problem arises later.
