Bad 'oil?' leak at startup.

I have a '99 F-250 Powerstroke 7.3L with about 230,000 miles on it...

Often ('bout 60% of the time) when I start it up I get a LOT of what looks like oil "spraying" on the ground in the passanger side of the enging compartment. I don't see any drop in my oil level, seems like I've lost enough by now to see a difference.

Any ideas would be helpful. This is my first Diesel and I don't know much about them.

Welcome to DB./If you also put this in the powerstroke section,you can get a better response.This section is to introduse yourself and to tell everyone about your ride.Again,welcome to DB.

WELCOME TO DIESEL BOMBERS, I had the same problem with my 1999 F-250 7.3, it was diesel coming out of the valve from the water/fuel seperator !!! FORD sold me the part for $44
