Oil is pooling up in the valley (between heads) due to a leaking high pressure oil line or high pressure oil galley plug o-ring, common problem, Pull fuel filter housing cover off, look straight (behind fuel filter housing center engine) down in valley with light, should be able to determine where leak is, Ford parts only, unless someone started making after market lines recently.
