Black Spots Again.
I was going out this afternoon and when I was going to get in the truck as I was walking up to the truck I seen the dreaded black spot under the front of the truck
. Most of us have seen this before and know what it is, a dad-gum oil leak some where and I hate a oil leak. It was just a drop so I went on and finished my errands and when I made it back home I crawled under and seen the evidence of a lite oil leak running down the passengers side front of the tranny by the starter. So I popped the hood and looked down in the valley behind the HPOP and fuel bowl and all was dry this is good but looked on back in the valley and yes I found the oil puddle in the very back. I hate a oil leak, it looks like it coming from the HPX fitting and running down to the valley or possibly the turbo pedestal.
I guess I will tighten up a couple fittings and bolts first and use a little simple green to wash it out and go from there. Man I hate a oil leak
It has been a little over 2 years since I have had a leak so I guess it was my turn again, maybe I will be lucky and just the little tighten will fix it

I have the rubber hose version of the hpx and started to leak. Looks like the hose itself is bad. The heat resistant material was soaked in oil internally. I had little bubbles at the end so I guess it was leaking there. If you have the hard version probably just some o rings.

I hate that feeling, just puts me in a bad mood until it is fixed. I'm chasing two at the moment on my Excursion. One on the passenger side (just like yours) and the other is on the drivers side down by the power steering/oil cooler area.

YUP! I got the dreaded drips too. Just had the hp hose on the Power steering replaced.
‘It was like this,’ said Donald. ‘I was teaching the wife to drive, and the brakes failed when we came down the hill.’
‘What did you tell her?’
‘Try and hit something cheap!’
