oil leak?

well i had a mess of oil in the front of the engine and front suspension...so i cleaned out the breather bottle and degreased the front half of the truck...only to get coated again...so now im looking its somewhere on the drivers side at the bottom of the block, but its not the oil pan thank goodness.

one guy has told me its the vacuum pump seal at the power steering pump...$2 part thats a pain to replace. any other ideas

Yes Most Likely The Vacuum pump seal..
$8.16 @ cummins and was a piece of cake to replace, Took me about an hour.
Part From Cummins Part#4089742 Seal Kit.

my leak was on the driver side behind the injection pump dodge had to put an update kit on it and it relocated the breather tube to the back ,it was funny that the leak started after they put a new injection pump in, the update cost me 1000.00 wasnt happy but no more leak
