oil leak????????

[nsrchofpwr]

had truck taken to body shop. i have small puddle of oil on the shop floor at rear of engine. maybe 2, or 3 ounces. never had any leak before body was removed (that i know of). i rolled truck last year, july, and it took 3 quarts to fill. could it be oil that was trapped on top of engine and when put on wrecker the angle made it run to back and down the rear of block?

My 03 leaked oil like that too.....turned out to be the ICP sensor....Dealer fixed it under warranty....

was this the truck that rolled or a new one?

rolled 2 of them. the 7.3 had right rear tire blow. no fault or ticket. this is my 6.0 that i bought after that one. it has been since july last year and now i have the money to fix it. cranked it all the time at the house and no apparent leak. i am hoping oil was somehow on top of the engine after the roll and when we put on wrecker to go to the body shop, the angle of the wrecker bed made that oil run down the back of the engine. it took three quarts to fill it after the roll.

Didn't know you rolled 2 of them! OUCH! You must have god on your side to be alive!

I'm sorry - I'll stop mucking up your thread.

yep! firm believer in the MAN upstairs. just trying to get info if this oil i am seeing and wetness on rear sides of engine could be from being upside down for an hour.
