Oil Leak
My 00 7.3L has developed an oil leak - the origin of which I can't find so far. The leak is on the driver's side -oil is coating the side of the block (oil streak is about 6-7 inches wide) and running down onto the oil pan just behind the spin on oil filter. Its a slow leak as nothing is hitting the ground and the area is just damp w/ oil not running. No oil in the Valley that I can see/find.
I originally suspected the turbo pedestal o-rings but since nothing is in the valley I'm starting to wonder about that conclusion. Leak is only on the drivers side. I checked to see if it was coming from the CCV or valve cover on that side and both are dry.
I'm going to look at this more over the weekend but I do not want to dig into the turbo pedestal until I'm sure that's where its coming from.
Is there something on the back of the block/cyl head this could be coming from?
