Yes, I have the irritating 7.3L oil leak in my F350. Anybody have a diesel mechanic they would recommend in the Phoenix, Arizona area? Thanks.

Here's my story. 2003 F350 7.3L 126,000 miles. Experienced the massive leak first (waterproofed the underside of the truck, etc). Took it in, the HPOP o-rings were bad. Had them replaced, big improvement. However, still had a little leak (not enough to show on the stick, even after a few days). Took it back. Replaced the two hoses. Leak actually got worse. Took it back again, still leaking. I have 3 distinct oil spots on the ground, bunched closely together. Of course, 3 spots doesn't mean 3 leaks, could be one leak with oil running off of differeent spots. Time for a new mechanic. HOA rules bars home auto repair, plus it is probably a little more than I would like to tackle myself.

Sounds like something I could handle. I'm in Payson.

Just talked to a Ford diesel mechanic and Powerstroke owner today.

He recommended this place:

Strictly Diesel in Scottsdale near the Airpark at the SW corner of Butherus and 74TH Street.
