my problems..

Guys from psn know my broke down 7.3... today I noticed water dripping and possibly oil.. I went threw a puddle 15 miles and an hour earlier.. I would think it woulda been dry...

Oil drips hanging off the frame by the radiators on driver side.. don't know if its old or not anything to worry about yet or just keep an eye open.. what's a good degreaser so I can wash engine and watch for leaks..

Sounds like your oil cooler took a chit bud. Clean it off good and I think you will see that is where the mix is coming from.

I'm pretty ingnorant... is that the little one in the front?

The best product I have found for cleaning up oil and grease is called Oil Eater followed by hot water. I use a pump up garden sprayer to dispense it.

Simple green also works, just don't use a pressure washer. And the oil cooler is just above your oil filter.

where is that located, like general area... Ill go out with a flash light when I can and poke around..

alright thanks

it goes from the front cover to the oil filter, it has both coolant and oil going through it and is known to leak.

Sent you a PM.. from what i could see the cooler looked fine.. might have found the prob...

are you referring to the intercooler tube? 3"?

possible.. has the blue rubber coupling connectors..


Went out to the truck noticed a tube not connected anymore.. miscommunition from me and the builder from previous problems.. didnt get tightened.. got it back togeather.. Boost gauge works again now too. Hope no damage was caused.

Yea just searched, intercooler tube.. someday I'll learn something about this damn thing..

Wow,lol.

Purple power works really well on engines too. As stated before,dont use a pressure washer.

man your going to love driving it today, you will have boost! sorry about all of your problems Corey.

I did not know that, thank you, I just bought a gallon of simple green and was about to soak my entire engine compartment and undercarriage to remove the remnants of blowing a HPO hose at 90 passing a car.

I could onnly imagine my next post after soaking the entire compartment with simple green...ha:doh: Thanks for posting that
