So what do yall think? Oil Pressure sending unit or cam position sensor? I am inclined to replace both but just wondering what you guys think if it may be the oil pressure sending unit.

From what I can see, neither look like the culprit

I wiped my finger on that scungey cam sensor and it was just wet. To me that looks like dirty oil. Keep in mind I have not started the truck since Sunday so it isn’t going to be fresh.

So it looks to be the oil pan gasket. I will post some pictures later but I have a hard time believing it is rear main for two reasons.
1. I don't really see any oil inside the bellhousing. If it was a rear main there would be a ton but there is nothing in there it seems.
2. It is leaking on one side of the engine in the corner where you are supposed to put RTV, I guess I may not have put enough.

Edit: Can anyone tell me what oil filter I need? The one I usually buy is sold out. I like the long ACDelco one but I only have the Wix and it won't cross reference

Double Edit: PF61, found it I'm an idiot

It's possible the oil pan bolts got loose and just need snugging up.

That was the first thing I checked, the bolts are snug as a bug.

Nothing is wrong with Wix but they were sold out for me so just got AC Delco

Some pics. I believe it is leaking in that top corner where you put the rtv and falling down the back. I took the starter cover off and there is nothing on the flex plate or anywhere I can see

That dye is pretty sweet! Look's like you need to reseal that or, remove the 5w-30 and add 6qts of Lucas stop-leak molasses and a bag full of saw dust.
