All my stuff
The oil pan leak on my 7.3 seems to be getting worse. It leaks about a gallon of motor oil every 1000 miles. I am pretty sure it is the oil pan, when I had my clutch off I cleaned the back of the engine with brake cleaner and saw the leak was in fact coming off the pan seal just under the rear main seal. seems like every time I stop it leaks out about a 10" puddle, it won't be bigger than that though. I think when I am cruising it collects in the bell housing and when I stop it runs out. I have found out that it is possible to cut out that cross member and can get the pan out and back in, I know it takes a super thick putty stuff for the seal. Or do I have to have the motor pulled at like $1200 to get it fixed.
Anyone ever cut out the cross-member to change the seal and put it back in?
