Default Yet another 6.0 oil leak

I have read several threads and have not been able to determine what else my issue could be. I have an oil leak that has been going on for quite a while. Stil lhave not officially diagnosed it. Here are the things that i have done so far for this leak:

new icp sensor
new ipr valve
new oil cooler with all new gaskets (initially due to coolant leak)
new hpop cover gasket

I am about ready to give up . It seems to only leak when the engine is hot. Majority of the leak runs off the back of the engine, mostly on the passenger side. But there are also drips from the front of the engine. Does anyone have any other suggestions??

Someone on here had oil coming right out through the oil pressure sensor, right next to the filter housing. sometimes it is best to look for leak at night and use a flashlite, it helps focus your eyes on a smaller area

UPDATE - went to change the oil pressure sensor. looks like i will have to pull the turbo in order to get my tools down there....tried everything. got to looking and there appears to be oil on the oil return tube from the turbo. ordered the updated tube today and will relay my findings once i change both items.
