Default Minor oil leak
I am planning on taking a look at and potentially purchasing a 1996 F150 5.0 this friday and was just told there is a minor oil leak. I have not gotten an answer back as to where and when this oil leak may be or first started. Here is a picture that made me ask. Any input?

probably from the rear main seal, a very common problem

That's where mine has begun to drip. It seems to depend on where I park though.

Could be from the rear of the valve cover gasket too. Mine is dripping in the exact same spot and that's what my issue is.
