Otherwise the front and rear main can seep but typically not the biggest issue.
How good of a motor is it?

You will have to pull the engine to re rtv the pan. Its less work that pulling the axle. Typically its not an issue just some minor seeping
Ok well I seen they make a oil pan gasket for that pan I wonder if it's possible to drop the pan in the truck put the gasket on and bolt it back. But my oil leak seems to be coming from my dipstick housing on the side of the pan.

Not sure on the dip stick leak.
Never heard of anyone successfully dropping the pan and changing the gasket.

What do you mean by into the intake? The CDR can be a ******, that's why I suggest a road draft tube if your engine is doing fine w/o cdr

If the leak just started then it sounds like you aren't exhausting the crankcase pressure well enough.

Ok will do when I get home I mean the truck runs great no blow by or anything when at temperature I don't see any blue smoke coming from my exhaust I only have black smoke come out of the stack when I'm in neutral and mash the gas and rev it I get a little puff.

Sounds healthy but if the CDR isn't right and you get too much crank pressure the you need to start to worry about seals and blow by increasing.
Well I think it might have to much oil too I'm on a hill and I'm showing maybe a quart to hight it smells like oil no diesel or anything else.

I'd park it on level ground and check it just after running.
That is on a level ground I went around the corner and checked it the engine was still warm from coming home from work.
