Oil leak ?

[dhanna6powerstroke]

My friend has a 2000 F-350, 7.3, 6 speed. He has an oil leak and it is in the valley. He said it looks like it is coming from a plug in the engine valley that is held in by an internal snap ring. Is this plug what took the place of the fuel pump on the OBS trucks and can you replace the O-ring?

Anybody? I know this is a quick , but I can't see the truck for myself to figure it out. Thanks guys.

Figured it out. It is in the back of the HPOP.

Replace the o-rings on the hpop and that should fix it..I had to do the same thing to mine and no problems since..

His aren't the actual lines leaking. It is coming from the big plug that is on the back side of the pump and is help in with an internal snap ring. Can that plug be removed and the O-ring replaced? I know there is a plug that you can't remove but not sure which one it is.

Got the rear snap ring removed, removed and replaced the o-ring, reinstalled the snap ring and then removed plug on back side, removed and replaced o-ring, reinstalled plug, topped off with oil. Started truck and check for leaks. All appears okay at this time.
