I've noticed more and more oil seeping down the front driver side of the engine. My truck has been off lately, struggles on the highway, so I decided to clean air filter. While I was in there I decided to pull off the top of the air hat and take pics.

Maybe y'all can lead me in the right direction in what this is. I thought it was vlave cover but there is no oil coming out of that little seem.
I think the oil is coming from the upper part of the head and the block as seen in image 3. bef35d0fb1580026858ecbd05e826bea.jpgd9a1c2063ef11a10828469af2edd8fe5.jpgc3e0771c2bf20cf4d7c5ad5e05fa9e19.jpg

Hard to tell from the pics, but is it possible that's coming from the hard pcv hose going to the throttle body?

There is some sort of sensor on top of the engine, there is a smidge of this muck around the driver side, if it was leaking it would be muxky on both... I don't think the sensor is leaking anything (if for a fact this is a oil related sensor). It looks like it's coming from in-between the head and the block and the entire front part of the driver side all the way down to the oil filter housing has that oil muck... IDK if the head is leaking oil the dealer would fix it under warranty. It's small now but they may not want to cause it's a small leak.
