Oil leaking from driver's side of motor

I guess I cant be in the thread about no issues anymore. Truck started leaking oil. Noticed a few drops in the driveway and as far as I can tell its coming off the side of the block somewhere on the driver's side but I didn't get a great look.

Oh well

Oil Leak

I think a TSB exists for dipstick tube o-ring failure due to damage during production. You may want to check that if the production date falls within the window.

Haven't been able to find the tsb to check the date range. Does anyone have more info on this?

Also is the dipstick on the drivers side? I am having trouble picturing it. I am at work and the truck is at home.

Quick update. The truck is still at the dealership.

They say it is the gasket where the glow plug harness enters the motor. Aparently they have seen a few of these already. If the parts come in tomorrow morning I should have my truck back in the afternoon.

Hoping to hear from the Service Advisor shortly to confirm the parts came in this morning. They were also still looking at why the hubs weren't auto-locking. I really hope I get the truck back today. I hate having to take vehicles in
