Dreaded Dipstick Flange
Boys I got a buddy with a '99 7.3 & he has the leak at the flange where the dipstick goes into the oil pan. Ford says they'll fix it but they want to charge him to R&R the engine, I told him that's horsesh-t they where gonna do it w/o pulling the engine but charge him that just in case. I'm real close to telling him I'll do it if he pulls that heavy a$$ starter out of the way...lol I mean folks have replaced that o-ring successfully & they just put there pants on one leg at a time, right. Any thoughts??

Look to see were its coming from there's seals inside and on the tube. I broke my tube and just replaced it very easy. Pull the tube and replace that seal on the tube. If it still leaks do a Google search there's a detailed way of changing everything without pulling the engine.

BE CAREFUL
G'day M8,
Try this: Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums > Diesel > 1999 - 2003 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel 7.3 oil dipstick leak? If it's just this leak around the Dipstick tube itself then no real drama to fix. Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums > Diesel > 1999 - 2003 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel Oil leak at dipstick tube flange fixed -with pics!. However if it's the flange itself then be sure to study up on how to fix that flange 'O' ring. The second thread is a good right up with excellant pics. Big, big drama if the dipstick holder gives the dreaded "ka-ploop" into the sump  Be careful. Just hope it is only the Dipstick  Good luck, Reg.

Thanks fellas, I guess you could say I chickened out. I gave him Marty's phone # yesterday eve. Would be different if I was still living in Ga. & if I screwed up I had a buddy that could weld anything (dam man could weld ANYTHING). Hopefully Marty will take on the task...lol
