ok,i have fixed the leaks on my HPOP seals ect,but it seems i have a small one around my driver side front engine/motor mount area,any ideas?
are there anymore lines/eaton fittings? my oil filter is fine so its not that.

thats what im trying to figure out,i know its not my HPOP,i just reringed it.
and still learning the 7.3,it may just be run off from the old leak.
anyone have pictures of the oil system would be great,now that i know my fuel system runs off oil pressure,i want to make sure none is bleeding off through leaks.
ok nevermind...i just found a oil cooler diagram....and yep this is the area that is affected.....sigh

Its not too bad of a job - a little tough to get at the bolts at the front.

Drain the coolant. Drop the bottom radiator hose. Be carefull on the top bolt up front. Use plenty of vaseline on the o-rings, going back on. It is a messy job, have two drain pans ready. Be sure to clean the block good before installing. Good luck. Should take you about a little over a hour if its your first time.
