Default Large oil leak on 6.0 motor

I have a 06 f250 6.0 with a SCT tuner put on about a month ago. The past two days when I first start the truck cold there is a large puddle of oil (around a quart in two days) leaking from what seems to be above the starter on the right side. There is a small amount of oil just below the manifold on the left side but not much. Any suggestions to what this might be. I have degreased and pressure washed all the residual oil and waiting on the motor to cool off. It will only leak until it gets up to operating temperature. Any help would be apprectiated

check around the oil filter housing, also the 2 oil sensors, the oil pressure and the oil temp sensor which sit to the left and behind the oil filter housing, they can fail and leak oil right through the top of them.
