Bad oil leak
Warming my truck up this morning I came outside to find a huge puddle of oil under it.
Here is a picture of the leak
I think this is a really bad spot for it to be coming from.
What does this mean for my truck? How do I fix it? Can I fix it? Help please

Joe, It looks to me like the turbo pedestal o-rings, probably the top ones have failed. It could also be the EBPV actuator on the pedestal as the pics are a little dark on my side.
The pedestal o-rings are not a huge problem to replace but it does require the turbo to be pulled.

That kit looks good, the installation pictures make me think this is the problem. But I would like to get these parts now so I can do this today, any ideas where I can pick this up?

You might also check your plenum boots. If they haven't been cleaned in a while, they are known to leak oil down the back of the motor.

You can pick up o-rings at a Ford dealer and I think they even have some kind of a kit available at some. Just don't let them know how much you have in your wallet 'cause they will take it all.

I really think this turbo kit will fix it, I just put some oil in it and started it and there was no leak but when I shut it off it leaked, why?? And although I couldnt see exactly where the leak was coming from with everything still in the way I am most positive it is coming from right around the turbo. I am heading to ford now to get the parts.

I agree with Guzzle, its your turbo to pedistal, or pedistal to engine block. There are o-rings in both, and since you have to replace one or the other, I would replace both while I'm in there.

Is there any way it could be coming from the HPOP... did you check in the valley of your motor for oil ??? It looks like you guys are on the right page.. Just thought I would throw another idea out there !!!

I figured that it wasn't the boots making that big of a mess, just giving him another thing to check just to make sure.
