I guess I've been gone for a while. Based on what I've read so far I'm guessing it's the HPOP line on the right side did not get connected back properly. The dealers original diagnostic tests sounded like he blocked off the right side to do a pressure test, and since he left everything else unplugged my guess is he didn't really care about getting the line hooked up properly either. Find all the lines in Barry's photo and give them a gentle tug. If you can pull one and find it's disconnected it's time for a polite phone call or letter to the dealership owner to inform him of the actions of his service personnel.
If it's not a line or plug then you'll need to clean the engine up (including the valley mentioned above) refill and then look for the leak after a brief start.

A calm level headed complaint that has the "I thought you should be aware of what you're employees are doing" will usually get you farther than an irate rant. Dealerships are in the sales business, and a bad reputation hurts sales. Besides you can always save the a** chewing for round 2.

Very funny Scott lmao
The IPR Center stud is the only part that requires sealing. The outer solenoid and nut are not exposed to oil. Verify you have all plugs in your HPOP and your HPOP oil lines are secured in the HPOP. Clean the engine, find your leak. Ford techs might have marred some orings on the HPOP

It started with ICP unplugged?
I shut it off and replugged in ICP.
It started but took alot of a cranking.
I crawled in the top with a trouble light and looked for oil leaks.
Theres oil in the valley but cant seem to find any major leak.
The oil dumps out of it in a few minutes so it has to be a major hole?
