2005 F-250 CrewCab PowerStroke
5000 Miles

There is a mist of oil on the underside of the hood above the oil
filter cap area. The oil filter cap doesn't appear to be leaking. A
call to the dealer got a response of "This is normal" but it's still
going in for inspection.

What could be causing this oil leak evidence?

Smell it, is it oil or fuel?

Pretty sure it's oil.

It's a very common problem and the most often misdiagnosed. More often then
not, it's the CAC line, more specifically the inadequate clamp holding it.
The oil filter/housing is not under enough pressure to spray a mist up to
the underside of the hood. The other problem on some the 6.0L was a leaky
turbo lube line. The problem I had with my 2004 was a leaky CAC.
