HPOP 2002 F250 oil leak second failure!

2002 F250: Shop just replaced HPOP last year due to huge oil leak-pump working fine. Ford rebuilt. Friday started leaking quarts again, I am told by shop this newly rebuilt, 1.1 year old pump has also failed (out of ford warrenty-again, leaking but pumping fine!). Something about a snap ring. Is this common? Is there a repair for this, short of a new (rebuilt) ford $800 pump (plus labor)?

Thanks,

Steve

Forgive my ignorance, I am new, how come I cannot post to tech help, but I can post here?

some forums you have to be a "tech" to post in.

as for you hpop failure it might just be a simple o-ring. I don't know if you can but I would try a second dealer and see what they say. 2 pumps in one year to me doesnt see very likely!

Actually and if it's a bad hpop again I'd buy another one from a junkyard and install it yourself - it's really NOT that hard to remove and reinstall!

Get up in there with a mirror and a flashlight, find exactly where its coming from, and post it here.
I'll look for my diagram in the meantime.
If it is not one of the three o-rings in the Ford TSB, then it could be the quick disconnect lines or fittings.
I third MrJohnWaynes post, if we can't help you, get a second opinion, your HPOP probably does NOT need to be replaced again!

Good Luck,

Martin,
If you find a 7.3 at junk yard, please let me know where it is!
I was looking for one for my 97, couldn't find one anywhere within 100 miles of me. No junk yard had anything for a 7.3, They all laughed at me.
