XR-2001

Hey Bud, I'm fairly new to the diesel scene, but since owning my 01 f350, I have learned a lot about fixin friggin leaks. LOL ! I bought my truck used from a friend of mine that bought it new.

I been helping another memebr a bit who you may be sharing a common issue,his truck was damaged in the front before. His radiator had been replaced & tranny lines leaked from not being tight.Mine leaked at the cooler hose connections, replaced the stock clip with hose clamp and problem solved. I like cheap fixes LOL !

Your ol' gurl may need a engine gunk treatment and a douching to remove all the old residue in effort to verify exactly where the leaks are originating from. I had oil leak at HPOP , down the backside of the block, like a rear main seal leaking, friggin' oring, another cheap fix. ! By the way, I love Diesel O-rings- they have every oring a PS owner NEVER wants to change!

I'm outside Baton Rouge , La. You ? I'll gladly help out any way I can.

I just bought an 02' 7.3 (true Beauty) But after about 4 days outside I noticed a growing puddle of oil, I pulled the passenger side hose off the turbo and there was about a tablespoon of oil (they say it's normal & when it gets to be as much as a cup, you have big prblems) Also, Up around the oil pan/block I see alot of sludge/oil that may have been there a while. Then today, i found a small puddle of (power steerin/transimission? fluid dripping off the bottom of the radiator) Needless to say, I only PRAY it's PS fluid and not transmission fluid coming off the cooler lines, As for the oil leaks...lol ****. Lets be friends, I may need ya! What part of the Country are ya from ?
