It very well may be the rear main seal. I just has a new 7.3 short block with a new oil pan installed at the dealer, and within 2 weeks, I could see oil dripping down towards the rear of the pan, by the "cover" area SDBOY is refering too. Took it back. Turns out it was the rear main seal, and crankshaft sleave. They had to drop the tranny to fix it. Fortunatly it was covered.
