Hey guys, I am new to the 4.6 motor so bear with me if this is a stupid question. I have a oil leak coming from the rear of the motor. It almost looks to me like it is coming all the way down from the back side of the head. Has anyone ever seen this and what could it be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it a leak or maybe spilled from an oil change or adding oil. I'd try cleaning it up first and see if you still have the problem.

it could be anything from a lose galley plug to a blown gasket, clean it up or follow the leak to the origin if you can.
