looks to be coming from back of motor could this be the o rings for the turbo pedastal. removed inspection cover by trans and its dry so im ruling out rear main seal. in the valley there is a little oil also. is it safe to say orings ?
 
another place that is common on the 7.3 is the EBPV actuator on the turbo mount
 
When I had my turbo off on Friday I chitcanned the pedistal and went with a non-EBPV version (replacing all the o-rings while I was at it). I won't be able to use the EBPV as an exhaust brake, but EGT's are way down and I KNOW the actuator hardware will never leak since it doesn't exist on my truck anymore.
 
The HPOP is fairly common. Thats where mine was leaking. It was dripping from bell housing. Replaced O-rings and all is good.
