Sensor Leak?

Ok now I think I found a differnt leak on are 2000 F250. It appers this sensor is if looking under the hood is to the right towards the front if lookn stright at the motor. Top of the block to the right of the High Press Oil Line. It appers there is oil coming out of the connector part. I have no idea what this sensor is? Would anyone know what it would be called off the top of there head? Thanks again guys! I did notice it has a 3 prong wire connector on it if that helps any :/

Its the ICP sensore. Seems to have oil coming out the end of the sensor, like leaking threw the connector part not the o-ring at the bottom Found one for $135. Thats a lot to stop a oil leak for a LITTLE SENSOR :0

Where are you going to get the icp sensor from? There was a guy on ebay selling some that caused a lot of problems. I would get one from Ed or Clay in my signature.

It is very common and the new one is a revised part to address that issue. I just replaced the original on my truck yesterday (thanks for the quick shipping Clay) since it was leaking a good bit of oil.

It's not just fixing a leak, it was a warning the sensor is on it way out. That is a pretty important sensor on the 7.3, high readings from it and you don't run.
