I've got an oil leak on the passenger side of my 2007 F150 5.4.
I don't believe it's the oil pan, since the front of the motor is getting wet. I'm hoping it's just the Valve cover. The passenger side of the alternator is damp, but not the drivers. I believe it's getting flung around by the belt. But it's also dripping back and covering the front diff and oil pan.

I cleaned it all up and haven't been able to see any major leaks, it also only leaks right after driving, then slows down or stops after sitting a while.

Here are some pics

Anybody deal with this before?

Look through your wheel wells and see if you can see the bolts to the valve covers. With it being that high up I bet it is the valve covers. But from the drivers side fender well you should be able to see the side of the valve cover and the bolts. might be a little harder on the passenger side but that is the first thing I would check. Get you a couple of cans of brake cleaner and clean everything you can. Crank it up in the driveway and let it get to operating temp. Check your wheel wells again and look at the valve covers and check for leaks. Also look around your oil filter and see if its loose. Im sure you know, but if you get too much oil on your belt it could jump off the pullies and you would be in a heap of poop.

I'll give that shot. I think I'm going to have to pull the passenger fender liner to really get under it, it's almost impossible to see anything back there with it in.

I already checked the oil filter, and its definitely not on the drivers side. We'll see what happens this week.
