Oil Leak ?
On my 02 F350 7.3PSD i have an oil leak on the engine. I degreased everything and noticed that the oil is collecting in the vally pan. it looks like it is comming from the bottom of the turbo area. Does anyone know where it might be leaking from? 
looking for a few pointers.
Thanks

It could be a couple places. One is the o-rings between the turbo and pedestal, or, pedestal and block. Could be the rod for the EBPV. You need to look very close to find a leak on the back side of the valley. It also could be the orange boots under the spider going into the manifolds.

My 2000 F250 7.3 did the same thing...when you park and look underneath, the oil looks like its coming out the weep-hole for the flywheel cover ? I thought it was the rear main seal leaking at first until the guys here at FTE told me about the HPOP (High-Pressure Oil Pump) seals leaking...same symptoms you described. As far as I know its a very involved process and the dealership wants a mint to perform the surgery. I have a trusted mechaninc that replaced all of mine for under $300. If your ever in N. Illinois I can get you his number LoL
Good luck !
