Common oil leaks on the 6.0

[Oledirtypearl86]

So I haven't had a chance to dig in yet but what are the most common places a 6.0 leaks tat causes it to run down the back of the motor it's not a big leak just enough to notice if I park it for a few an let it idle

The turbo oil lines. Especially the drain line going to down to the manifold pan. They can run down the back of the motor.

That's what I was thinking I need to get it in the shop

Depending on the year, could be your icp sensor too.
I know the glowplug harnesses will leak like a sieve as well.

Mine was leaking from the O-ring under the filter housing. I replaced the O-ring and the leaked stopped.

I took brake cleaner and air gun to clean the valley out the best I could to help me trace the leak.
