Fuel pumps like to leak from the vent hole on the bottom of the pump.

Turbo pedestal O rings some times leak later on in mileage. They can leak a fair amount of oil off the back of the motor.

1996 Ford transmission

I have this 96' ford f250 7.3L up the road with 245000 miles on it and I was wondering, I heard about the transmission issues the E4OD has but i don't know exactly what goes wrong on those trannies. Please respond back to me as I am kinda thinking about buying it next week he wants 6600 to 6700 for it.

These trucks are commonly awesome!!!

Get a trans temp gauge and a big trucool trans cooler! Replace the pitiful oe extra cooler with said cooler. Service fluid regularity and don't abuse. They all sure aren't that bad !
Efuel will rid you of fuel system issues for a good long time!
