Hello Everyone, I have been cruising the boards for the last few days and found that hte leak on my 2002 F 550 7.3 Turbo stake body work truck which I thought was the rear main is actually the IPR leaking steadily. Im dropping quart a day and think it is the culprit of some of the performance problems I am having. I have found many threads on the replacment of it but they all seem to be out dated- Could anyone walk me throught the replacement of the IPR with pictures (so I can be sure it is what is leaking) It seems to be leaking on the drivers side top near valve covers? and dripping down the engine - The hose appears to have a connector on it which looks like it would pop right off - Im wondering how easily the IPR comes out and what exactly is holding it in there??

Performance issues are : Leaking Oil, Usually withing first few min of driving after start.... engine will sputter and shut off - I then place it in nuetral while rolling and it takes a while but she restarts - and then seems to run fine -

I will try to post up some pictures in a bit of my problems - Im hoping to taackle this this weekend

As I said many of the IPR replacement threads are out dated and whn I click on external links to replacemet pages they are no good

Also if I purchase a new IPR will it come with new seals or do I have to purchase them seperatly??
Thanks in advance for all your help

Most likely your IPR is not the problem. You describe the leak as the HPOP and the hoses. This is the most common leak area anyway. Most likely an o-ring is pushed out and needs replaced. Take a look at the link belw for HPOP r&r, that will help out on the details of how to fix it. Riffraff Diesel also sells the o-ring kits.

The above picture its the hose in the middle (half plastic covering missing) that feeds into the driverside Head ??) Pardon my ignorance in diesel / mechanic talk as shop class was some 15 years ago haha - Where this hose feeds it actually appears to be leaking not from the connection its self but between the valve and the Head)
What Im calling the Head is the driverside part of the engine in which it appears the IPR and ICP are next to eachother - Its not the connection with the electrical connection its the other - The Ford Parts department looked at it and gave me a 25$ part That has 2 rubber seals wrapped around it - They say it isnt a valve its just a connection that goes there - They did however state that i would need a special tool to take the line off -

Pics updated - They also said that I would need a special tool to take the line off of the connection - Does anyone know what kind of a tool they are talking about?? Thanks for all your help already!!!! Also - This line comes off of the bottom fuel bowl and near the Hpop with a sorta of 90 degree connector and then the line shoots to where Ive been describing - There is also another simaler line that shoots off too the other side of the engine

This is the special tool - #8-6595 HPOP Hose Quick Release Tool - High Pressure Oil Pump - 1999-2003 Ford 7.3L

You can make one yourself if you've got some flat iron or a 9/16 motorcycle wrench, but this is easier.

All of the o-rings you need for your job are best found on this site. Bob is great and very knowledgeable. He will answer any question you have - most pages on his site have step by step instructions as well. Here's the direct link to the o-rings you seem to be needing - DieselOrings: HPOP Cylinder Head Quick Disconnect Hose Fitting Repair Kit 1999 - 2003 7.3L

OK - so after watching the video - ank making my own removal tool out grinding down and tapering an old 7/16 wrench - after a bit of frustation after boogering up the rubber fitting and metal clip on the hose side of the line ...... It finally came off - SO tomorrow when the parts department opens Im going to purchase a new line and just use the rubber grommet and metal clip off the new line to finish this repair --- I debated replacing the entire line itself however the other end of the line is so low and a bit more involved (and not leaking #1) - That im just going to attempt the latter- and I ahve to get my work truck back on the road to get some work installed - That video definatly helped wonders and I definatly wish I wouldve seen it sooner -

I printed out the info that you posted and it made things much easier for me THANKS

Tomorrow I will keep all posted on the outcome and I hope that its my only leak :0)
