Leaking EBV

[99ildually]

My ebv accuator is leaking, I was wondering if Ford or anybody else made o-ring kits for this problem. Im tired of chasing this darn oil leak for the past 2 months.

Well the valve won't leak oil, however the pedistal will.

Verify that's what's leaking and let me know.

I know this video title states gutting the EBPV but it's really gutting the pedistal. I have another video that got corrupted that was about gutting the EBPV and was not able to fix it.

Gutting the Turbo Pedistal

Well, I just put new o-rings top and bottom yesterday, took it out today for a 30 min or so drive, and the leak is still there, its collecting on the linkage to the EBV itself. I went to my ford dealer and got an exploded view, it seems like there are 4 o-rings on it. I could be wrong. If its not the EBV accuator what could it be ? I meant in the title and first thread to put accuator not just the valve, obviously the valve itself shouldnt be leaking oil, if it was i would have bigger problems.

Anybody have any ideas ?

[Marty]

Yes, it can leak out of the pedistal at the actuator arm.

Is there oil in the valley? If so, check your HPOP O rings.

have you thought about just doing the ebv pedestal delete....if that is where it's leaking from that is.

Yes, there is oil in valley, one of my HPOP fittings is starting to leak, I've got the kit at home just havent had time to put it on.

I have thought about it, but Ive got my ebv hooked to a toggle switch to use it as a exhaust brake. I kinda like the fact that its a cheap way to have an exhaust brake. But at the same time if its gonna cost me 160 bucks just to get new o-rings. I was just wondering if anybody has had this problem and had an idea of part #'s or dimensions. I plan on taking it apart tonight after work, hopefully being able to match the o-rings up at a parts store.
