YES, you can see the groove on the turbo outlet where it is supposed to be.

Sometimes ya just lay something shiny in the stream and you know a fish is going to hit it.... 
Sounds like the OP is done with this thread so I'll shamelessly hijack it. No offense taken if a mod makes my rantings go away.
Are there more gaskets on a 7.3? As a relative noob I'm genuinely curious. Seems like it's all o rings, loc-tite, gasolia and RTV. IMHO vc gaskets don't count since they are reusable forever, barring mishap. I'd say to qualify as a gasket in the traditional sense it would require replacement when disturbed, otherwise it's an ornate o ring that is intended to be reused.
Ah, IIRC the hpop has some gaskets involved that are not generally reused. So there's something. Maybe the oil cooler? Any others?

- machined surface to surface
- flexible sealers (RTV, Silicone etc)
- O-rings
- Gaskets
I think the 7.3 has all options in play. The lion's share seem to be O-rings which is helpful for maintenance since they can generally be re-used in many cases. Gaskets (by my own definition) generally aren't meant to be re-used so that may be why they aren't as common as O-rings on these engines. From memory there are a few that fall into the 'gasket' category....HPOP and Oil Cooler come to mind. I suppose the doughnut gaskets at the up-pipes qualify as well as the flat gasket at the dipstick flange fitting. I think there is a front cover gasket as well....
(I am probably forgetting a few others...)I agree with you though...even though we call it a 'valve cover gasket' it's really an O-ring spacer gasket or maybe a combo 'O-ring/gasket/electrical pass thru' (if you will...)

My question is...how the heck oil didn't come pouring out of there? I blew one of the two orings in there and lost a gallon of oil on my way to work. Noticed the puddle when I parked it. Gut dropped!!
