Hello all, it's been a little while since I've been around the site but I need some advise. My 2017 F350 6.7 has developed an oil drip. This is my third 6.7 and I haven't had this happen on any of them. I've got 65000 miles on this truck and do my own service on it, 7500 mile oil and filter changes, 25000 mile fuel filter changes, etc. During my last oil change I noticed the wetness around the oil pan, it appears to be coming from the pan gasket, I can't really tell because of the huge engine crossmember under the area. The leak is on the passengers side and everything above the top of the pan is clean as far as I can tell. I talked to a local Super Duty shop, local dealer is a huge joke, and described what was going on. They said if it's the upper pan gasket that it's a major job. The cab and motor would need to be pulled off and out to repair it at an estimated 3000 dollars. Has anyone had this issue or know anything about it? I don't think the price is unreasonable considering the work required, but wondering what could have caused it to happen. The truck is a daily driver/work truck but i don't do a ton of heavy towing. I don't know if it matters but I have been using Rottela T4 15-40 since it was upgraded to meet the new Ford specs. Any help would greatly help.
Thank,
Keith
