Found oil leak?
First I wanna wish everyone a happy and safe holiday!!!!
Now on to my problem. After 2 weeks I think I found origin of my oil leak on my 97 7.3- seams to be coming from bottom of fuel pump where pump fits into top of engine. Cleaned area in valley twice. Did the dye test after newly changed oil, inspected with dye light/goggles, small mirror - noticeboard leak trailing down from bottom of fuel pump where it fits into engine top , there is dye surrounding circumstance of pump .not, I had changed pump 3 months prior also after changing bad fuel bowl /no problems until after about 1500 miles of inter mitten driving.
Prior and after dye ,no leak from under pedestal or HPOP area,front valley area completely dry /just that small collection in the area I mentioned which seams to spread to valley area on passenger side........so
My question to you guys after this long discription is.....Should I pull the fuel pump off AGAIN? You folks have been tremendously helpful in the past and I have learned a lot about my truck.
