I am leaking oil like crazy,,off the inspection plate and another couple drips ,,,seems to be under hpop.The valley on top under the Fuel filter bowl is puddled up and I am thinking its the hpop??/can anyone confirm this?? Just put new oil in today too
hoping it was old bad oil was causing it to drip so bad ,,it has always had a little drip but not like this.If it is hpop orings how hard is to change and what do i do???

thanks in advance 1996 ford f-350 7.3 lr diesel dually.

 

Having faced this same dilema...the first thing is to completely degrease the top end until it's spotless or so. Use either degreaser or brake cleaner. Once that's done get a great not good light and crank her up until you can locate the leak. It may very well be a combination of fuel and oil. Just a matter of some wrench turning don't freak out. The guys here are great if necessary you get a step by step "how to."

 

Just like david said, clean it up and start it and watch. Could be orings on the hpop line fittings, not hard to change them if that's it.

 

check the HPO lines to each head real good

 

I cleaned it up,and even stuffed a rag in the valley when i started it,,,rag slowed the leaking down so its got to be hpop ???
So the pump has 2 lines? one to each head??

 

 

And hpop mounted to hpop resovoir??

 

This is the back side of the HPOP wiyh the fuel bowl removed

 

Thats where its got to be,,,my friend,,thanks for the picture,,,
so I need to take bowl off to get to pump?

If the discharge hose fittings or the plug on the back is leaking, you won't have to pull the pump as they can be repaired on the truck. If you have to pull the pump, you will need a new HPOP mounting gasket as it is not considered to be reusable. Some have gotten away with not replacing it but as much of a PIA it is to remove, I wouldn't risk it.

Let me know if I can help you with anything.

 

Hey guzzle,,,the hoses you are talking about,,do you have a picture?I looked at pump again and i can see behind it ,,it looks dry???

 

look at pic in post 8 again see the line to the left of the pic with the metal 90 degree fitting that one you 'll see that it runs over the top of the other one those are the two line to each head

 

ok so i was able to get a coathanger in between bowl and pump pulled out hunks of like hair and **** just soaked with HOT oil,,so it is the hpop for sure right side,,,is this hard to fix ??
I need to take off bowl and then the pump? or can i fix without taking pump off??

 

see the two hole on each side of the center shaft thats were the bolts go in from the back side of the pump make sure them are tight
