I doubt its the valve cover gaskets, the oil escaping there isn't under enough pressure to spray anywhere.... (unless you have SERIOUS blow-by issues....) There isn't any pressurized oil near the timing cover either...... pressure sending unit is on the back of the block, next to the dist..... not sure if that could cause your issue or not......
Start the truck up, have a friend sit in the drivers seat, put it in gear, and hold the brake.... see if you see any fluid spraying. Or, I suppose, you could put it in neutral, and set the parking brake/block the wheels.....

only other place i can think of would be posibly a crack in the head were the oil is under presure when it gos up threw the head before it gets to the valves... but still thinking timing chain cover

No pressurized oil there... valve train is lubricated thru the pushrods. Those don't really flow all that much. I don't think valve covers, or head gaskets are the issue.

Is your PCV system intact? Or do you have aftermarket valve covers?

No factory everything I wiped down the PCV valve and hoses and it's doesnt get wet again. For the timing cover do I just take off all of the accesories and just look.
