Help Needed Need mechanic near Yorba Linda, CA

[ForumBlue]

Major oil leak. I need a mechanic near Yorba Linda, CA. Moved here about 18 months ago and have used a local tire shop for a couple minor things but I think I need someone who is familiar these motors for this one.

Any help would be appreciated.

I finally see what I think is the problem. There is what appears to be a hole on the top of the motor in the valley under the fuel filter bowl towards the back. Looks like it's missing some kind of plug of something that should be screwed in there. I cant reach it to see if it's threaded. Here are some pics.



In the 2nd pic it shows up like a gold circle because of the flash light I had fixed on it

Hmmm.. Bummer, but not having my 7.3 anymore I can't make out what that is (or part of).

Anyone else ?????

I'd sure hate to see a SDD member pay for what looks like a minor repair/replacement part !!!

I was able to reach it but still cant tell if its threaded. The hole is only about 1/4" deep then it bottoms out flat.

Thats not the problem. My Dad has a 7.3 so I went to see what his looked like and it has the same hole in the same place.

I do appreciate you trying to help Joe.
Thanks.
