Oil leak

[jmaxe444]

Hey guys. I seem to have an oil leak. I have an 05 CC 6.0 with 51K miles on it. I noticed that I had an oil leak start at about 50K. It appears to be in the back somewhere between the middle of the block and the top. I was under the truck today and it almost looks like the heads might be leaking. The oil seems to be leaking down by the drivers side more and dripping off of the bell housing. Thanks in advance.

does your check eng light come on and then go off every now and then it just might be your icp sensor see fords great designs when the sensor starts to go bad it leaks oil nice hu

No, the only time the check engine light comes on is shortly after I install the SCT programmer. There doesn't seem to be any problems with the truck running. Of course when I set the truck back to stock it clears the code and the light goes out.

what code does it set when the sct is in ..... i have the sct also and some time's i feel like it was a waste of money .....1.reason is when i have it in if i get on it hard it seems to have a stumble like it cuts out just only when you first step on it ,it like takes off but then it stumbles . the the second reason is i live in sacramento calif and i race dirt bike's up in the hills and it seems to run liike **** when i start getting higher up to tell you how bad it got one time towing my boat to taheo i had to stop and put it back to stock and at that time i had the tow program in it .....

That's only on 2003 model years that have the ICP sensor on the rear cover under the turbo. Late 2004 and up, the sensor is located on the passenger side valve cover.

PROBOBLEY AN OIL COOLER OR THE LOWER O RING IN THE OL FILTER HOUSING. IF ITS FROM THE VALLY THAT IS THE MOST COMMON THING. COULD ALSO BE A TURBO DRAIN TUBE

My 06 truck had a similiar leak, dealer used dye to determine the bedplate gasket was leaking. Had to remove engine to repair, this was two months back, problem repaired.
Dealer repaired under warranty, treated us first class. located in Marion, NC

like frankpennell said, take a good long look at your bedplate.....
