Default Oil Leak wont go away!!!

I have an 01 f250 7.3L, and its leaking from the front of the engine, we thought it was the cam positioning sensor so i took it out and the o-ring was bad so i got a new one and its still leaking!!! does anyone know where else it could be leaking from up there other than the front crank seal and the oil pan?

The gasket in the middle of the HPOP. Climb on top and look under the big fuel filter. I bet you see a puddle of oil.(ask me how I know) Anyway There is a gasket, 3ish Red o-rings, and 5ish Black THICK o-rings. One or all of them is leaking. Mine was rebuilt last week and is leaking Again It Will be Fixed tomorrow. OH BTW all the stupid NASA rated O-rings and Metal gasket with rubber in it will cost you $100 Bones from the dealer. Oh don't forget the 4 Yellow Turbo pedistol O-Rings that will start to leak too. My truck only has 87k on her and they all Leak(ed)
