Drove my truck 2000 miles towing a 6000lb load and it performed great. It's a Ram 3500 with a Cummins that has 200,000 miles so not super high mileage for that engine. I noticed upon my return it seems to have an oil leak. Not sure if it was leaking before, but it's a noticeable leak now. Any ideas where it could be from...are there common places they leak from? Thanks in advance.

I've noticed on most diesel's that the front and rear main seals go first, but where do you see it on the motor? You can pick out "blow back" pretty easily if you look closely.

It seems to leak on the passenger side of the engine. I haven't isolated the leak yet, but The oil seems to drip on the ground right behind the crossmember under the passenger side of the engine.
