It could still be the oil pan gasket in the front where it meets the timing cover as that is still higher than the bottom of the crank pulley. Also , the crank seals are famous for leaking once the harmonic balancer gets a groove in it over time.

For my issue, I ordered a new gasket and bolt from BJ, and tomorrow I'm throwing them on and see if it cures my problem. When I upgraded the engine I also put a DMD on it...I think BradSVT did the same...anyone ever hear of a bad batch or problems with them? When I get off I think I'mm gonna go over it and compare it to my old damper and see if there is any noticable differences.

Ya I put a DMD on as well. I broke my old pulley so I had to get one. The car is going into the shop tomorrow so I will let you know what there idea is. This is really bugging me to send my car to a shop. If it costs me alot of money I need to sell my new tv instead of not getting books. I will be REALLY upset if i lose my Tv.

With all those books and School, do you really think you need a tv? hehe. Hopefully I get the problem fixed tomorrow, I'll post an update if it works or not. And hopefully the shop doesn't rape you...

I really doubt that there would be a bad batch of DMD's as it's a factory ford part.  Yes,I know, I just put alot of faith in ford products, hopefully I'm not disappointed with a rash of DMD failures.

So the problem ended up being piping from the power steering reservoir that ended up hitting the belt some how and creating a hole. I still think along with that there is an oil leak but I guess I will see in time. It cost $137 for an hour of labor and this pipe that they charged $47 for. I guess I canā??t complain since I have no other way to fix it. Hopefully I will not run into other problems anytime soon.
The bright side to this story is that I get to keep my new TV!!! haha

Facotry ford part, or factory anywhere part means nothing. There are standards and specs for everything, but even bad parts are missed at quality checkpoints within manufacturers hand, as well as the assmeblers. Wasn't really suspecting anything wrong with it, just figured I'd give it a once over and make sure its up to par.

I just got back from picking up a puller to remove the DMD. I popped my hood and noticed a fading hissing sound from the back of my engine (near the timing cover, back by the firewall).
I don't remember hearing this before, but do you think it could be a possible source for a leak? (oil) I really dont want to take off my intake and remove the rear valve cover to find that everything is okay, when those valve cover seals come out, they dont like to go back in with out a little modification.

FAding hissing right after you shut the engine off?
IF so, its probably the AC system pressure equalizing past the expansion valve.
