Hey yall!

thanks to all who take the time to try and help...

Have an oil leak that isn't terrible, but requires adding a quart or more every month. Not scary, but annoying and is getting everywhere.

I've uploaded a video to my personal server , NO DOWNLOADING REQUIRED.

I see NO OIL this High, anywhere else, on either side of the motor.

Where it "shows" the most, is all around the oil pan drips close to the starter. Of course I did my best to work my way up.

Here is a still shot of where I think may he a problem...

Mind you, the truck has had $17k in delearship work in last 30k (or so) miles... new glow plugs, new injectors, hoses, FICM, etc. I put in the new blue coolant hose (the orange one leaks for everyone), a brand new Ford starter yesterday, new batteries, etc.

This looks like some kind of sensor...

Thanks to anyone and everyone who takes a second to read!

The video is slow for me.

I believe that is your FICM bracket mounting bolt in the valve cover area, but it looks a bit different than mine. Regardless, it is in the valve cover area.

Your leak points there would be your glow plug harness o-rings and valve cover gaskets, neither are a super expensive or difficult fix, especially on the driver's side.
