6.0l oil leak

It is funny you said that Mdub because my ford service manual is incorrect with the torque sequence and I did exactly that. I was following the manual to the "T" on torquing the head bolts by using the 5 stage method however my manual told me to torque 1-10 to 65 foot pounds,Stage 1. Stage 2 was to torque 1,3,5,7,9 to 85 foot pounds (notice It said nothing about the remaining bolts) Stages 3,4 and five 90 degrees each stage respectively. So as you can see, my large head bolts did not get equal torque hence my continuous oil leak. (I think). I found this out because I watched a guy on You tube do his and he did all 10 the same way at each stage. I then called Ford and they too explained the sequence. Man, I knew it wasn't right but my manual told me it was. Tomorrow I will try and tighten the remaining head bolts but probably just turn them another 30-45 degrees and hope it is enough to make up the difference. By the way, the guy goes by SeniorMasterTechnician and had good info on You tube.

Thanks for the suggestions on my oil leak however the ICP and oil sending unit have been replaced within the last year.

So now I have determined that my turbo is ok and in fact I have not only a bad injector but also a bad connector to the #3 injector. My buz test came up short one buz which was my #3 injector. I switched the connectors around a few times and retesting the buz test and #3 failed each time as did the injector that I connected #3 plug to. We will see tomorrow when I replace the wire harnes and injector. Fingers crossed!

The 6.0's have a oil plug in the back of the engine. there was a flaw in the casting of the block, and the plug is not perfectly round so it constantly leaks oil. the fix for it is simple. all you do is put some cocking agent around it and you're good to go. the problem is, is that the plug is only reachable by removing the cab.
