I have a 2002 7.3L X and it was leaking a whole bunch of oil ( I would see the oil after parking and coming back after a few hours), so I powerwashed the whole underside and drove it to see where it was leaking, and it seems to be collecting in the pan, then dripping out. All of it seems to be coming from the oil pump, found out these go out after 130k, which my truck is at. Here is where I need help: any tutorials on changing this here or on the web? and where to get a good price on the oil pump? Thanks UPDATE...I found some links: TSB: http://www.ford-trucks.com/tsb/fulltext/show_article.php?tsb=04-4-4 http://www.thedieselstop.com/faq/9497faq/tsb/tsb/files/040404.pdf a seal kit on eBay? how hard is this to replace? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Powerstroke-7-3-7-3L-High-Pressure-Oil-Pump-Seal-Kit_W0QQitemZ220193852232QQcmdZViewItem High pressure crossover line? needed? http://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=50 a $1400 high volume pump, wow expensive... https://www.dieselsite.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=827 More discussion here (still reading through it): http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/565934-7-3l-oil-leak-look-here.html So.....it seems like I may be able to just replace the O ring and save myself a stack of $$$....has anyone been down this road before I attempt to order the O ring replacement kit (may just get that 1 off of eBay) it would be nice to get some advice before I attempt...thnx! edited 3/18/2008 16:41

Clean the valley between the heads and then check for leaks on the top of the engine. Oil leaks runs down in the valley to the back of the engine and then below. two most likely places your leak is coming from are the end plug O ring on the HP oil reservoir or the O rings under the turbo pedestal. Also check HP oil line fittings
