Got in my pickup this morning and noticed some oil dripping in the driveway. I usually run it pretty easy but yesterday I punched it coming home from work. Not outrageous but just more than normal. After looking for where this damn leak was coming from (and there was oil everywhere underneath and some on top) I noticed some oil oozing from between these two I circled in the pic. It's directly under the turbo. Is this the HPOP, or cover to it ???? I just bought this 2006 F250 King Ranch 6.0 TD earlier this year and love it. Can anyone tell me what this is and why it would leak oil before I rip it all apart ???

 

never owned a 6.0 so dont take my comments as gospel....on a 6.4l there is a tube the runs from the turbo to the engine that has an o ring around it...famous for leaking.

the tube is mounted to the engine..o ring goes around it..turbo on top of it. if the tube would have been part of the turbo..it would never leak.

 

I didn't see the tube. Today I removed the turbo and air intake. Got a little more in there and took this pic. Same part as this one I found online. Oil Cooler? Same part where oil filter is attached. Somebody help? After thanksgiving I'm removing the alternator then this part and check for gaskets or O rings blown. I circled where I saw the oil leak coming from while running. If you look closely there's some debris. I'm thinking blown gasket?

 

That is indeed the top of the oil cooler. That oil pressure sender connector is pretty soaked with oil. (Single wire connector). I would unplug it and look for inside that connector. It's where I would start before pulling the oil cooler.

 

I agree. I've replaced more than my share of oil pressure switches on these trucks.
