Hello, while under my truck I noticed oil leaking around my pan, and in the general area. I’m guessing my oil pan gasket may need replaced. Pictures attached.

Good evening,

I do not think it is the gasket.

I would start by having the engine steam cleaned of all the oil and watching it every other day. From the looks of it, this could be the rear main oil seal spraying the oil out.
