Default oil leak

I just bought 2006 amarillo f250 with quiet a large oil leak and fuel leak .I just fixed feul leak .now to oil leak I cleaned oil off bottom of truck then started and let run for 5 min. The oil is coming down top of bell housing and top of starter on passenger side of truck. I am not having any problems with startup hot or cold . nor a drop in oil pressure as I can tell. There is oil coming from hot side turbo boot but i dont think it is enough to cause the large oil leak . not a mechanic so please help.

Check oil pressure sensor on top of intake manifold, just in front of turbo.

Also check oil line leading to turbo, which comes up from intake, just in front of turbo and makes a quick 150 degree turn just before it connects to top front of turbo (the outside diameter of this metal line is about 3/8").
Also check the turbo oil return line, which comes out of bottom of turbo, then turns 90 degrees toward back of engine before connecting to the high pressure pump cover.

Sometimes the oil filter canister oring leaks...look at the side of the canister; if it's wet try replacing the oring.

ok think I found leak / crack .. hope im wrong and its just leaking down .. I know better . this is located back of engine at top its under turbo. i think it might be high oil pump housing . you look at picture in my album under Amarillo.
