did you check your injector tubes? or injector lines? just a thought, its not a powerstroke so it can only leak in so many places easy way might be to take it to the car wash and get it clean under there first so you can see it better.

The sealing washers on the banjo bolt on the back of the head could be failed, and no ammount of tightening of the bolt will seal it. The seals in the T could be failed as well, if they were loose, there might a reason they were loose. If #6 injector line is loose it may be leaking, but it would get worse and worse.
I have been able to look at the back of the head by laying on the ground looking up from the left side of the bellhousing. Might be able to have a look at the leak.
