your best bet to find a leak like that is to go get you some good degreaser and soak it then wash all that oil off so its all clean. Then watch it over the next day or so and you should be able to see excactly where its coming from

Thanks for all the advice, I cleaned it off with some break cleaner yesterday, and have put about 50 miles on the truck since and the leak has yet to reacure. So maybe it's just a slow accumulation.

I used the low pressure engine bay degreaser at the local car wash and it did wonders. Mine was leaking out the tappet cover and vacuum pump to timing cover seal.

no, unless you remove the pump to get it off.
