I am having the same problem and it is the plug in the rear of the HPOP. I replaced it the other day and it blew out again why does it keep blowing it out?

not sure what you mean by "blowing out"?

Did you use the right size o-ring?

The Ford part # for the three replacement o-ring kit is 9G804 or 9A543

I believe the oring was the wrong size. I tried to match it up in the o ring bin at Oreiley. The o ring was actually coming out around the plug (blowing out). Always recheck your work. I began this journey of the oil leak thinking it was the rear main seal. So I pulled the tranny in my gravel driveway ( shade tree style). Put it back together still leaked the I spoke to some friends and that was when I was told to check the HPOP and I found the problem. $.36 for the oring and 10 minutes the oil stopped for a little bit till yesterday when the truck quit (because I was so low on oil). I found that the o ring has started leaking again. I will try to find another today on easter weekend.

I have no idea...I would just stick with the new o-rings if you can identify that's where the leak is coming from.

It's pricey for three o-rings from Ford ($27), but it was in stock, there was no guesswork, I only had to fix it 1 time.

My time is worth money, and $27 to fix my annoying oil leak for good is a no brainer.

later

Stop leak is a temperary fix for a permanent problem, wouldn't recommend using it. It absolutely will not hurt the engine. The guys at work have had to be towed in, countless times for not checking the oil in our F450 stakebed.
