Newbie here with a major problem!!!

I bought a `97 3500 extend cab on wednesday(1-26-05). I have put 402 miles on since then. Today I got home from work ( I have a work truck) and went to the dealer, then to a friends house. I left it running while my friend looked at it. All of the sudden, for some wierd reason I looked under the truck

There was about 1/2 gallon of oil on the ground, with oil pouring off of the crossmember. I can see it's somewhere around the injection pump area, right above the powersteering pump. We shut it down checked the oil added some more. Fired it back up while I looked at the underneath but I can't see where it's coming from! It was wasn't pouring at idle just a fast drip. WTF!! Thanks for any help!
