The next is the oil is on the drivers side cross member but it must be the pan .

Man this sucks. Its going into the dealer to be checked. If the motor has to come out then I gotta see how much & if I can afford it. The leak on top - maybe they should wait if the motor comes out & do it all at once? Wish me luck. Its going in on wednesday.
Probably high pressure oil line fittings causing the entire problem. You don't see a lot of oil pan gaskets leaking on the 7.3 trucks.
