Got a 01 7.3. When I bought it I noticed the high pressure line going to the LH cylinder head had some sealant or something aroung the fitting. It was constantly leaking a bit (and probably letting air in too) so I finally got aroung to fixing it. Disconnected oil line and removed fitting. Whoever had worked on this before had put ANOTHER larger o-ring on the fitting and left the factory o-ring (that was shot) there. Then they reinstalled the fitting squating out the extra o-ring. :badidea: Then I guess it still leaked so they put some kind of sealant around it! I'm surprised it leaked as little as it did. :lame:
Anyway, I replaced the o-ring and put it back together.

ordered some o-rings for the breather yesterday at the dealer. Wife said she will pick them up today.
