i have a 99 7.3 bone stock. had problem with the oil pan dipstick holder leaking.it was leaking from around the nut that holds it in. And of course the inside peice fell in the oil pan. tried to hold it with a homade hook type thing. but..... now can anybody suggest a repair without pulling the motor. Any problem with leaving the piece in the pan.

 

strictly sells a new piece to replace the factory assembly. there instructions are to leave that piece in the bottom of the pan.

 

WHS^^ but it's pricey...

 

I bought one, its pricey but I think it will be worth it in the end

 

You have your motor OUT... and you bought one of those???

Holy hell man... Your made of money...

 

do dont want to screw with it later on down the road if it starts to leak again.

 

thanks for the suggs, the part from strictly d worked great. saved me from pulling motor. good quality part.

 

For future reference Clay puts together a PERFECT repair kit for this project!!!
