Help!! Is this a glow plug harness leak?? Photos included
I have a 2004' 6.0. I am getting a burnt oil smell sometimes. I think the glow plug harness is leaking and dripping onto the exhaust manifold which is causing the smell and is why I don't see any drips on the ground.
Can the glow plugs be leaking or is it the harness that is leaking? Does the harness have o rings that make the seal. If anyone can explain how glow plugs and the harness seal and the best way to go about fixing this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks..

That really doesn't look that bad for an 04,check around your intercooler boots to see if oil is seeping out there, the only time I smell the hot oil smell is when my ccv tube comes out of the valve cover on the drivers side. Also check around the turbo real good to make sure it is dry on top and bottom.

the seals could be hard and letting oil by, you would have to replace the whole harness, think they are around a hundred bucks to get both sides. They are a pain to get out and will probably break. While you have it unhooked use a deep 10mm socket to make sure the glowplugs are tight, then replace with new harness, do a google search of images for the harness and you can see what they look like

Sorry I meant to say glowplug, not injector. Glowplugs can leak if they come loose of course but they won't leak oil to the outside of the motor, it is the sealing suface of the harness that is leaking, the only reason I mentioned the GPlug was since you were going to have access to it with the harness removed to go ahead and make sure they are nice and snug more as a maintinance thing. sorry for the confusion.
