it probly wouldn't be a bad idea to get some of that engine degreaser on there to clean it up a little and just make sure everything is clean.

So does every ford leak at 85k on the O.D? Yes I can fix it sure but dang how many times do you have to fix them? Did the rear turbo seals, yes the yellow ones. Then the hpop, All if it. Now it looks to have another leak coming from maybe the valve cover, Oh the other sensor is leaking oil into the plug, Yes the one next to the hpop. I'm just saying this is all before the tranns goes bad which I'm Sure will be next. Look at the pattern of these and tell me I'm wrong about the 7.3. They say this is the best engine Ford made and if this is true I hate to see the bad one.

Oh I also took it to the dealer to get the oil changed and they broke something and had to replace More oil seals up above the filter and I'm glad they did. I'm sure they where about to leak before the end of the week anyway being how that is what they do. I have learned all of this in the 2 months I've had it.

This is really my fault because I did by a Ford and this will be my Last ford Ever. Anybody want to buy it while it still runs?

Its a diesel they all leak. Like my buddy said "my cummins probably leaked oil before it left the factory". Its not just fords. I have about 8 friends with diesels they all leak something. Thay all have dodges Im the only one with a ford and mine leaks nothing at all. It has oil coming from somewhere but it never drips dont know where its coming from thats a spring project. I would say its just cause its older now o rings dont last forever

I'm learning this but man the truck only has 85k on the ticker. My 2000 corvette NEVER leaks a drop and she just turned 100k. Oh well not a big deal, btw thats funny stuff saying it Leaked before it left the factory.. I sure hope my 09 GMC does not do this, but she has a 100k warrenty and I won't have it that long anyway.
