glow plug oil leak?
Hello all,
Was in the dealership for a PSD scheduled oil change on the weekend,
and they indicated 'oil leak on heads' comment in the WO. They didn't
say it was a big one, and I hadn't previously noticed any drops below
the engine. The service fellow who did the oil change wasn't a diesel mechanic.
Got home and took a few pics. Seems there is some minor amount of
oil on the lower part of the rocker arm carrier in the plug wells along
the glow plug buss bar and some dark staining in those areas
(this rather fuzzy pic is on passenger side from below):
Could this be what they were refering to? and is it normal?
Any advice on how to handle it?
55k km (about 34k miles) on a 2004 F350 CC Lariat.
thanks in advance,

Mine has the same thing happening. The dealer said it is normal and that the glow plug areas are suppose to have oil around them. I was confused at first but they said anything goes wrong they will replace it, ok I have a 04 f350 6.0
