Thanks
@shiftpro I'll be sure to pull it back out clean things up and use some in place of the RTV. I do have Teflon thread tape and probably should have used that from the start.
So I just got back from rolling around under and ankle deep inside of the truck with a large roll of paper towels wiping things down. The leak seems to have slowed down but My starter, trans, inspection cover, and front drive shaft are still soaked while the engine pan remains clean.
My white paper towel treatment shows some very miner seepage from the back bottom corner of the passenger side valve cover, (not nearly enough to worry about)
lower edge of the cylinder heads, as well as the bottom edge of the intake manifold and the sending unit on the rear of the block are all completely dry other then some grime.
However, my timing cover is pretty saturated all the way around as well as the pan gasket showing signs of oil running down it from the timing cover. So I think that will be my next focus. In my seemingly never ending pursuit of the end of engine leaks.
