HPOP Help
Hey guys so I have a 99.5 f350 and my hpop has been leaking for a few weeks. I ordered new seals and goodies to replace to stop the leaking. But while driving today the truck all of a sudden shut off and lost all oil pressure. I popped the hood and oil was all over the engine like the pump had exploded. I’m not sure what to do from here any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

To his " just clean it and find it" assertion, I would only add, "...and fix it with the new seals and goodies you bought."
Ok, maybe I'll add one more suggestion. Even if your HPOP lines are ok, I suggest you replace them both as preventive maintenance.

throw some simple green in there and park on ramps or an incline and use a hose to wash the mess away. If its warm enough and you can still move it, cover the ALT with a bag and try not to directly spray anything else electronic.
popular culprits are the "non serviceable" plug, which is on the drivers side of the pump kind of at the bottom of it, i think its like a 1/4" bolt. You have to take the pump out to fix this if its the issue, you can get a new bolt with longer threads in a $30 kit from diesel O rings. USE A TORQUE WRENCH. Its steel fittings going into an aluminum housing*
next is gonna be your HPOP hoses and crossover line if you installed one, either a bad O ring on the fittings, a broken fitting where the sleeve has slid up the hose, a split hose. Just check your hoses lol.
also could be a bad gasket on the HPOP where it connects the the reservoir area, I think theres also another rear plug on the pump that could be causing an issue, USE A TORQUE WRENCH.
Is it sprayed all over the engine bay or is it to one specific area?
you can also check the cover for the drive bolt on the front of the motor, the oil rail seals by the firewall at the top of the motor

Other than the HPOP (and all the related plugs/gaskets/o-rings on it), the HPOP lines, the oil rail plugs, and maybe the ICP sensor, there isn't a whole lot that can spray oil around like that. Okay, so that IS a lot of stuff that can spray oil, but it looks like you have all of them covered except the ICP. An o-ring or a crack in the sensor itself could do that, but I don't think I've ever heard of them doing anything more than just weeping some oil.
My guess is once you tear into the HPOP and get the lines out to examine them, the fault will be obvious. If not, just do as others have said when you button it up - disconnect the 42-pin and have someone else crank it while you watch.
I just bought a handful of extra oil rail plug o-rings to have for spares, as one of the HPx ports managed to mangle one on the way in and I had to replace it. Who know which one will go next, but now I'm prepared.

well i just pulled the old HPOP out of the truck and I'm not really sure where to go from here. my thought was to just buy a new one and call it done but i can't really tell if it is no good. What do y'all think? would it be worth resealing this one since i have all the parts or should i just pull the trigger on buying a new one. i really don't want to have this problem again and my current one is OEM and has 425,000 miles on it. If i do go with a new one which one would y'all recommend? i would be looking a affordability but something that would work a little better than OEM as i do have a tuner on the truck and will be getting bigger injectors in the long run.

Without knowing what it was putting out for pressure, it's tough to look at it and say it's on death's doorstep or anything... but 425k is a lot of miles, especially if you're going to ask it to do more work in the future with the tuner and injectors. And, you have half the battle done right now - it's on your bench.
I haven't done one yet, so I can't make any recommendations. I'm leaning toward doing a Bosch unit when the time comes, but I'm staying with stock injectors and only plan to run a mild tune if/when I get a Hydra.
