I have 47K on my truck...03 F 250. It has been a good one. Just returned from a trip and noticed a good leak which appears to be coming from the engine and dripping on the side of the oil pan. It looks like oil but don't know. I have to take it in for oil change and some other issues so thought I would inquire...anybody have any ideas?

 

Bump...anyone?

 

It seems there are several common leak points- With the injectors being one of them and the CAC tube being another. Either way, it shouldn't be difficult to diagnose (easy for me to say from 1,500 miles away). Two items of note: The cost to you should be the $100 deductable and if it is an injector, you should request that they replace all 4 on that side- Supposedly, Ford will allow this on the 03. Good luck

 

I don't see how an injector can cause an external oil leak... glow plug harness leaks are pretty common on 03s, seen quite a few ICP sensor leaks in the past few months on 03s too.

 

Thanks for the responses. I take it in tomorrow and will post when I find something out.
