Default common 2005 5.4 oil leaks?

have had a leak for a while i cant track down myself, seems to only leak 5mls or so and only after shutoff, seems to be engine oil and dropping from the oil pan vicinity ( ruled out the pan and gasket and oil filter ) its to tight to get in there . i just wanted to see if there is a common leak with these units. Thanks for your time.

Check your oil filter adapter. There's a filter between that and the block.

Definitely check the area around the oil filter adapter. The gasket can fail and oil will run toward the back and down the oil pan. The gasket runs about 12 bucks but it's a PITA to replace especially if you have large hands.
