If that black part have a o-ring on it its probably your leak. If not then its top or lower head gasket. Or clean it up with some brake cleaner spray, make it nice and dry, then run the truck for a wile and look where the oil seeping trough. Good luck

Yeah, i open that part up and there was an o-ring. Seem the o-ring is on the flat side. I tighten it up a little while new o-ring is on order.
Thanks
