You probably had the distribution block on the back of the high pressure oil pump blow off. It is a common failure on the 05's. There is nothing you could have done to cause it or prevent it. The dealership will typically see a low cranking icp (less than about 300 psi) and an air test of the system will result in a small air leak noise that seems to come from the center rear of the engine. It is a pretty labor intensive job to do; it takes me about 3.5 hours to do it. If that is the problem, the recommended repair is replacement of the fitting on the pump, and replacement of the distribution block. Let me guess - you have between 20,000 and 35,000 miles on your truck?
As for your leak, you may have a front crank seal leaking. It appears at the same location. It is unrelated to the distribution block failure.
Sorry to hear about your inconvenience. Thank goodness I haven't had a vehicle failure with my 3 year old present yet.
