Leaking around HPOP somewhere

I have replaced the HPOP, and HPOP gasket I even tried a new Ford gasket because the one that came with the HPOP was not OEM. I have the same leak as this guy.

Does this look like a front cover leak? I am so deep into this truck whatever it is has to be fixed. Thanks guys

Does anyone know what flows through the area that I circled,coolant or oil?

Because that is the area where my leak is.

The leak I can see when watching with a camera comes from in between the front cover and the block. It leaks up and then down into the valley. If that makes any sense.

I've got the adrenaline and have a tiny leak into the valley. I couldn't find the leak until I looked under the hpop with a mirror and saw a allen head screw on the bottom of the hpop with a drip of oil hanging off of it. I cleaned it up and put a little JB weld on it and its slowed way down. I should take it off and send it to Dieselsite for repair.

I'm feeling really defeated after this set back. I'm in the process of selling my home and moving we really needed this truck. We are going to have to move into a mobile home in our area to save for a few months before we move out of state and I have no idea how to get this job done now that I have no garage or space to pull the engine.

Here is a youtube video of where my leak is coming from. starts leaking around 1:20 and this is with cold oil at an idle. It leaks much worse once it heats up and with higher RPM.

Thumbs up

When it rains it pours. :/ There might be some members that could lend a hand since you have to move quick per your other thread. AZ is not that large of a place
