I have suddenly developed an oil leak under the fuel filter. It looks like a brass plug or brass bolt head. There is a lot of oil in the valley between the heads and after the engine gets warm and you bring the rpm's up it starts to leak around this "plug??" I found part of an oring in the valley and it feels like there should be on around the brass head...Can someone please tell me what this is before I remove it?????

I dont know what it is maybe if you could get a picture then it would be easier to tell. But i am sure that somebody around here knows what it is

Get a new O ring on it for now, and get the oil leak stoped, Call ford and get the parts guy to check his blowups for the part and name, hope that helps man.

I merged your two threads into one for you, you will still get the info you need, but take up less space.
