Message: [QUOTE="skold, post: 1421512, member: 27051"] glow plug 2 grommet leaks oil, I have done a good amount of work trying to figure this out. I have contacted the dealer I got the truck from and they are not offering to take care of anything for me. they also sold me the truck with no cats or *** and didn't disclose it to me. ok 1st a back story of the truck. I got the truck on 10/11 94k on it from a ford dealer 10/17 t stats went out so I replaced them. While doing so I found the whole driver's side of the engine to be covered in oil. cleaned the block and sprayed it with tracing powder. checked it 2 days later and it seemed like the lower EGR cooler was cracked slightly and leaking. so I ordered a block off kit. 10/24 removed EGR, throttle, and coolers, in doing so I found the dipstick tube had no o-ring, so I replaced it while removing the full EGR system. cleaned block and sprayed with tracing powder again. 2 days later I would glow plug 2 grommets is leaking oil 10/29 replaced glow up harness on the driver's side. 10/31 found oil all over the block again and grommet 2 is leaking. 11/8 I had a relative compression test done found cly 2 to be 5% low. removed glow plug and checked it and didn't see anything out of the blue. reinstalled drove the truck until today and found oil shooting out again from cly 2 glow plug grommet. 11/10 I will be doing an actual compression test. only things I can see causing this issue, would be: worn valve guide cracked head cracked piston worn rings leaking glow plug [/QUOTE]
