Oil Leak
Well guysI think I may have tracked down my oil leak in the valley of my 7.3 It looks to be leaking from the HPOP. Is there a gasket or something that could be bad? Is removing the HPOP a big job? Im still kind of new to the diesel world so any help is appreciated. Thanks. P.S. The oil seems to be running down the front of the motor and down the back of the motor cause my starter is covered in oil!

It seems to be leaking on the drivers side. It looks to be coming out of the pump someplace. I couldnt see it leaking from the lines anywhere. Thought maybe there was a gasket somewhere that could be bad.......

There is a gasket under the HPOP reservoir. Also make sure that you check the high pressure oil lines and fittings going to the heads, they can spray oil pretty far before it starts running.
