2007 42,000 miles bone stock

I just changed my oil and I was doing my routine check up and I found these small leaks.

The first leak I have is on the passenger side,First glow plug closest to the fire wall.It looks like it's coming from the valve cover gasket???I first thought it was the glow plug harness but the oil is above the glow plug.Nothing is dripping down or hitting the floor.Everything above is dry.




The next one,This is shot with my head towards the front of the truck and right above the front axle.From what I can see everything is dry above.Thoughts????

 

Retorque the valve cover and have a close look at the thermostat housing and hose clamp. Wish one of my motors was still that clean.

 

Do you happen to know the torque spec's for the valve covers?I looked in the tech folder and didn't see anything.As for the leak in the front,I'll check the thermostat housing and clamp.

These leaks are so small,I'm gonna try what you said and wipe everything down real good and watch it.I'm not going to start throwing parts at a few drips.

I was wondering to,The truck has sat the most it ever has since I bought it new,(Nov of 06)this winter.It would sit for two weeks and then I would take it on the highway and then It would sit another week or two.I was thinking that these seals or gaskets shrank alittle from the cold and that's why all of a sudden I've got these drips?

 

This is what I found for torque spec's.

It say's these are for an 03.

Nm lb-Ft Lb-in (8-71) Valve cover bolts and studs

Does that sound right?

 

Yup 71in/lb or 8nm.
Torque chart is here. Powerstroke 6.0L Technical Intro Manual pages 84-87.

 

Thats the cleanest 6.0 ive ever seen! I have a leak in the same place in the back i think, but my engine/oil pan/trans is covered in oil/grime, and it actually leaks a drip or two of oil whenever it sits

 

you really need to at least start the truck , to keep the Turbo happy, and get some fuel additive in so the moisture doesent turn to algie growth

 

It always sits with a full tank and a double dose of diesel kleen.

 

Great thanks!

 

Ha,I thought it looked dirty. I do go the extra mile for this truck.I have guy's wanting to buy it all the time...They know how I am about it.My buddie called me twice last month with offer's.I said no thanks!

Heck,I'm worried about a few drips on the engine.Ive been doing searches ALL morning on here and the other five forums I'm on.Man,When some guys say they have a "Leak" They have a leak...Their whole motor is COVERED in oil.

 

**UPDATE**

I think I found the leak at the front of the truck.

The Camshaft position sensor has oil all over it?There isn't any where the sensor meets the block,But halfway down the sensor and on the wire's has oil all over it.

Can these leak oil?

No issues with running or starting and no codes.

 

ill take that over this, lol. at least its keeping my oil pan oiled up

 

a small amount of weepage is normal

 

What would you consider "a small amount"?

 

Ill try and post a pic of mine tomorrow.Its to late to do it now.
