    Does your truck have engine oil cooler lines? Could be the oil filter, filter adapter gasket/o-ring, oil cooler line and/or coupler, rear main seal/rear engine cover(these should always be done together, as previously mentioned), or a transmission front pump seal or torque converter seal. I'm trying to remember if these have an oil pressure sending unit at the rear of the intake, you might look for that too.

    Some shops have engine oil dye and a blacklight. Pour in the dye, start the engine, raise the truck and watch the source of the leak identify itself.

    Good luck on the repair.

    Check the oil pressure sending unit. They leak after time.
