Default n00b w/ an oil leak

Hello everyone! I'm brand new here, and am posting because I have an oil leak in my 2006 f-150 w/ 4.2 v6. Although the vehicle is CPO and under warranty, there is a $100 deductible so I want to make sure it isn't something simple, like the oil pressure sending unit.

Here are my symptoms so far (I haven't wiped the engine down to pinpoint the leak yet). The oil seems to be dripping down the drivers side of the engine, pooling on the sway bar, and dripping off the bar onto the ground. Has anyone had this happen and know what it is? If that is too vague, I will wipe everything down and see where the leak is coming from tomorrow. Thanks in advance for the help!

the drivers side mostly, but it coats most of the bar.
