howdy, I have a 95 F250 7.3L truck. I have a steady oil leak coming out of the area of the fly wheel/torque converter inspection plate. I have had this oil leak for months and I have already tried multiple things to fix it. I did the rear main seal and just recently the fuel pump because there was oil in the valley down below the turbo. As of now the valley is dry. So aparently i had more than one oil leak. Im hoping its not the rear main again. Anyone have any thoughts??

 

check the oil plugs on rear of each head. There is no reason for a rear seal to go bad in that short of time. Also check turbo pedastal.

 

Do you know how to access those plugs ? And I'm not familiar with the turbo pedestal ??

 

I just discovered my turbo pedestal is leaking on my 22k mile 97, seems to be common. Is this a difficult repair?

 

The plugs are hard to see let alone get at. I would check out the pedastal first, for this a person must remove the turbo, which is a not to hard if you have skills. My advice is to clean everything really well let it dry start it up and watch. And be certain that your valley area is for sure dry! I recently did my turbo orings and then found out my hpop is leaking also.
