FTE,
Question / advice needed from you all. My PSD has 8100 miles on it now. I just took it in for the 3rd time for what may be a cam sensor O-ring leak. The O-ring was replaced under 4000, 7800, and now looks to be the reason for my current oil puddle in my drive. It has been fixed at two different dealers. Have any of you had this or heard of this many issues with the sensor o-ring?
No other issues with the truck beside the leak; and milage I thought would be better..... another issue.
Could this be a lemon issue I can approach? 3 times and your out?
The truck has a 04 engine with a truck build date of 8 OCT 03.
04, 6.0, auto, CC, 4x4, SB
I think the truck is awsome, but I'm getting tired of putting the amry drip pan under it every time I stop to avoid the EPA fines!!
Any advice would be appreceiated.

Here is a bulletin from Ford. I would guess it is a known issue:
Oil Leaks from Lower Engine Area:
Some 6.0 engine may exhibit an oil leak that appears to be coming from the lower crankcase (bedplate), upper or lower oil pan, rear main seal, or front or rear covers. First inspect the cam and crank position sensors to ensure the leak is not the o-ring on one of these sensors. If the sensor(s) is wet, remove it and replace the o-rings. Cam sensor (driver side): 3C3Z-9N693-HA and -JA; crank sensor (passenger side): 3C3Z-9C064-DA.
An oil leak may occur at front or rear covers if they were removed without cutting the sealing joints behind them. Broadcast Message 1268
