Is the truck still under the 100,000 5 year drivetrain warranty. If so let the dealership worry about it. At least that is my thoughts. You paid for the warranty let them worry about it. You also will get a nice loaner car to beat the crap out of until they fix your oil leak.
On my truck 7.3L I had the same type of oil leak though. It ended up being a brass plug on the valve cover that has an o-ring to seal it. That o-ring was ripped and that is how it leaked oil. I got a new o-ring for 2 bucks at the dealer ship. Put it in myself fixed the oil leak. I would be checking around the topside of the engine driverside. Wash the engine and then look for the leak.

I have an 04 F-250 Turbodiesel I just purchased. Notice oil leaking around the bellhousing, oil drain bolt and most disturbingly around the studs holding the driver side exhaust manifold on the block. Any ideas? Is this symptoms of a head gasket? I haven't noticed any low oil or any low performance however.
Also, does anyone know if there is a shop manual available yet?
Thanks!
