Intercooler pipe oil leak... help

T_rider_0013 · Dec 9, 2016

I have a 2000 f350 7.3 SD. I haven't drove it in about 2 weeks I go out to have a smoke and see a good puddle of oil that has dripped. I took off my driverside intercooler pipe to investigate and found a small crank in the pipe from the powersteering nut. Would that be my issue with the oil I'm looking at?

There is going to be some oil residue inside the pipe due to the crankcase gases getting vented into the turbo inlet. It can cause a mess and would mist out if there is a small hole in the pipe and cause a loss in power.

I don't have a power loss. I parked it 2 weeks ago due to me driving my work truck. Last night started it let idle 20 ish mins drove to store and back maybe 2 miles round trip tonight went out to smoke and found oil all over steering column wiring and a what not. Just don't know where abouts to start my adventure.
