just to check, if it is the EBPV couldn't it just be deleted and problem solved?

Absolutely. Some people like to keep it for one reason or another.

I agree with Peter. It is the EBPV actuator rod that is leaking.
Gunk foaming engine degreaser is your friend, EasyOff oven cleaner also works pretty well to get the caked on stuff off the engine.

and to answer Rocketman, Yes you can easily delete the EBPV (exhaust back pressure valve). You can buy a blank pedistal (no EBPV acuator), or you can remove your pedistal, remove the actuator, and tap the hole that the rod exits from to accept a standard NPT pipe plug. after you have taken care of the pedistal by deleting the actuator, you will have to secure the EBPvalve in the open position. you can either wire it open, or weld it open. There is also an exahust adapter avail to delete the whole EBPV assembly.

If the EBVP is leaking bad it will normaly run into the valley not down the back of the motor where the ped. O-rings are.

There is a drain hole in the back of the valley that allows accumulated oil in the valley to run down the back of the block.

Duck Fan, If oil runs out the valley it does not run down the drivers side of the engine and bell housing. It comes out the bottom of the bell housing and or around the starter.

If you look at his pics, he has oil everywhere. He may have more than one leak. But his EBPV piston IS leaking. In order to fix it, he will have to replace the pedestal o-rings too. Kills 2 birds with one stone.

If you look in the 3rd pic, there is no oil 360* around the driver's side endcap. You are going to have to do some more digging.

Alright, im pretty mechanically inclined just new to this motor. How hardof a fix is this? And would it leak down to the driver side if its more towards the passenger side?
