Oil Leak Drivers Side ??

Hefcat · #1 (**permalink**) 12-08-2010, 08:08 AM

So I have a 1996 F350 7.3l.

I am having an oil leak that appears to be coming from the drivers side on the engine bay, since it is kind of all over I cannot tell exactly where it is coming from. Does anyone have any ideas of what would leak from that side? I think it could possibly coming from the headgasket or it looks like there is an oil line over on that side that it could be coming from.

When I return home today I can post more info on it and maybe take a few pictures.

Thanks in advance.

you need to clean it up... then start teh engine see if you can see the oil leak. Valve cover gasket, Oil cooler........

If it is leaking alot at cold start and then gets a bit lighter as you drive then its the o rings in the oil cooler. Pretty easy fix just 100 for parts at the ford house ( dealer only item). Took me about 45 mind from start to finish. Have a crowbar handy to put it all back together
