Default Ford Crew cabs w/7.3 Diesel

Got an oil leak or something on the eff2feddiy. Appeared the day i brought it home from Banks. It LOOKS like its comming from between the motor and tranny. It is black and not colored FYI... All the fluids check out ok.

Ok i just found this posted on another site. And it appears its one of hte following. So it is something that banks did.
Check the top of the engine, in the valley and you will find oil or fuel.
You have a leak from one of the following;

1. Loose intercooler boots.
2. Pedestal "O" rings are bad.
3. EBPV actuator arm "O" ring is bad.
4. Bad "O" rings where the lines connect to the HPOP.
5. Oil galley plug(s) loose and/or bad "O" ring.
6. Fuel regulator "O" ring(s) are bad.

There is a passage at the top of the valley that allows oil or fuel to run down the top and side of the tranny and leak out the inspection cover between the oil pan and tranny.

Clean the valley and check where your leak is originating.

I don't see how they got the turbo in/out w/o taking the motor out. That's freaking TIGHT. I guess if you do them everyday, all day, you probably learn some tricks.

Confused, hopefully this one works for you. Had a neighbor who had a house, car, etc. waiting for him OK City, OK and he kept having offers fall through on his house here. Finally someone bought it for a rental. His wife had already moved with the youngster back to OKC. He paid less in OKC for a nicer house on like 40 acres w/ a 40 acre option on the adjacent property than what he did for his house here.

Yeah. The turbo comes out without taking the motor out. just not alot of room.

thanks skinner, hope yer right. we do have the luxury of a better back up offer, and another guy who now wants to put in a back up offer on that one. and a 3rd guy who's anxious for everything to fall apart so he can buy it (but doesn't wanna step up and make an offer now).

ford allows a whack of time to re & re a turbo. my diesel mechanic buddy (who passed away last year), could do it in about 1/2 an hour. maybe that was EACH way...whatever it was, he made great $$ off that job on the flat-rate system.
