01 7.3 Valley Dry Still Oil Dripping

[chiefson]

Replaced HPO lines and checked seal on hpop turbo pedistal ok valley is def dry Rear Main Seal??

Is it dripping down the back? or are you finding spots under the truck?

Ebpv on back ish of pedestal?
Clean it all, dry it, then check again.
Also dip stick tube o ring, and oil cooler

My Samsung SGH-I997 made me send this.

It seems to be leaking oil pan area but pan is ok valley was wet replaced hpop lines and icp cleaned it now it seems to be a smaller leak near oil pan area thinkin rear main is leaking

[jesilvas]

Near oil pan is a lot of real estate. The oil cooler and dip stick both are near the oil pan.

[campbellflage]

Check the passenger side of the oil pan where the dipstick enters the pan. Behind the starter. Mine was leaking bad there!

[chiefson]

It's between tranny and oil pan actually running off of the tranny housing

[jesilvas]

Is it up at the top of the bell housing? Or just at the bottom?
There is a weep hole at the back of the motor valley to allow anything in there to drain out down to where you're looking. My suggestion would be get some simple green, wash out the valley with the truck's front end up so it all runs back, and run a LOT of water on the rinse cycle to get it all outta there, then let it fully dry, then check for leaks after some more driving.

Mine is doing that. Crawl under with a light and look up the sides of the block. My oil is coming down the passenger side. I think the valve cover gasket is leaking. Haven't had a chance to check it closer.

Mine had issues with the actuator for the EBPV on the pedistal. Didn't really put much if any oil in the valley, but leaked down and around to where the trans and engine meet. Only way to know for sure is to give it a GOOD bath and run/drive it a bit and crawl all over with a flashlight or other bright light source.
