is this the... BEDPLATE? duh nuh nuh!

Ok so my truck has been leaking forever. A drop or 2 everyday.... no big deal.... untilnwe moved into a brand new house!

IC boots are clean at the turbo... however pretty nasty at both inlet and outlet of IC..

Oil dipstick o-ring was supposedly changed when I bulletproofed 2 yrs ago

One thing that just started this winter isba mass exodus of fuel from the 2 hardliners off the FP housing. Not sure if it's maybe a slow seep that gathers dirt and carbon on the way back, and spills like crazy when it's cold?

Looks like it coming from the front, check the front cover to bedplate seal, see if its leaking there. Or cam and crank sensors for leakage. The motor tilts back, so **** finds the seam and runs backwards.

at this point I'll take anything over the bedplate. Just bought the house and my damn kids are getting expensive. If it was the bedplate I would literally sell the truck and buy bronco or something lol.

Cam and crank sensors... I read about those. Just o-rings or seals?
Is front cover difficult?

Honestly this engine is shoe-horned in like a mofo. I miss changing plugs on my s/c 5.4 2v lol.

Cam and crank sensors are just o rings. The front cover can be a bit on the tricky side, as the intake is supposed to come off, and the front crank seal need installed. Trickiest lart is getting it lined up square on the dowels in the blocm so the oil pump turns free and doesnt ***k anything up.
