Bad Leak,help!
bad news,my f-350 just sprung a leak on passenger side bad enough to water proof my back axle.It leaves a spot as big as a frisbe in about one minute,you can see it dripping from the dust cover and the starter bolt when you shut it off.when you drive it around town it not as bad,but on the freeway or under load its really bad.where do you think i should looking.the steelership has replaced the pedestal o-rings,rear main and two transmissions in 38000 miles and now i have a bunch of mods so they will screw me on the warranty work.any ideas guys.

There is a line on the passenger side right at the back of the head that comes from the HPOP, it sits about 2 inches from the far back..
I have read some poeple have a problem with that one rusting,,I have been watching mine since there is some corrosion on it
just my 2 cents you might want to start there, its might be kind of hard to see unless you climb up there and look down,
HPOP is located right in front of the engine, under the black plastic cover..

If you look up from in front of the axle, you'll see a hard line in front of the motor mount. If it's leaking there, you'll need a special tool to release the quick connect fitting.( Ford rotunda # 303-625 )
I'd bet your leak is there. If not, even though you had the turbo pedestal done I'd look at all the areas around your turbo.
Good luck, hope that helps
