Valley Oil Leak-Plug Identification and Help

V-Ref · Nov 9, 2013

Anyone that has repaired a leak from this location?

Using paper towels, mirror and a flashlight....I think I've got a leak from this plug.

It's burried under a Stealth Billet Stage 2 on my truck...but the image below shows the plug I'm speaking of....this picture was taken from drivers side, oriented towards the passenger side, just aft of the HPOP reservoir. Front edge of drivers valve cover is in the lower right half of the photo.

Is it something I can just tighten? Is it NPT or a ORB type plug?

Thanks in advance.

I would guess ford would have them. And good lord, power wash the hell out of that motor before you pull that plug out

Im guessing the oil leak is why it looks like that.

Mine is doing the same thing. ...

I might go pull mine to answer that question.

Lol! Yep. Once or trice. Pull the plug and get a new o-ring. That's the low oil pressure bypass.

That's the one I asked you about before but you never answered me.

Is this.capable of puking oil everywhere? I replaced my ipr last year thinking it was belching oil everywhere.

Sorry.

Usually it's a moderate drip. Not gushing out.

Im just bustin balls!

Mine is filling the valley but it only does it at.higher rpms especially when icp goes over 2200psi. We tried powerbraking it but at one point the brakes wont hold it and the truck pushes thru the brakes. So standing up there looking over the motor isnt getting me anywhere.

New hpop,lines, and ipr. Havent replaced the icp sensor but its clean. Could oil be coming out of it?
