Default 2007 5.9 leaking heavily from front passenger side

Back story, drove from Texas to PA pulling about 3k pounds on the bed and 2k on a bumper pull without issues. Boss said he changed the oil on the truck but forgot to do the oil filter.
the oil pressure has been around 40-45/50 and i didn't notice anything else.


Today i went outside to grab tools from the truck and the picture is what i found, the bigger spot is where i was parked before lunch and where the truck is at is when i came back.

I went back to where i grabbed lunch and the oil leak was there and so it was here at the hotel from the right before too so this has been leaking for a while.


as you can see in the picture the oil is coming through the bumper on the corner as well.

what is high enough to leak in that area? anyone have any ideas as to where i could look?


Help is greatly appreciated as i am out of state and have limited tools.

Here is a picture i took before the snow flurries got bad, i thought it would be a great time to make a snow man and run it over.... well on the top left you can see the oil and so the truck has atleast been leaking for two days.

The only thing i can think is the oil filter came apart,or it fell off. But wow, can you post a closer pic of the engine area to better help diagnose?
