I have an early 99 extended cab 7.3. I had the same porblem but almost all of my oil leaked out rather quickley. Lucky for me the Ford has a low oil switch that shuts down the motor,,,Good thinking,,, or I might have very well burned the sucker up.. Dealership fixed it for $180.00 High pressure Oil pump o ring. They said it is a very common repair.... I am not sure if you can do it on your own or not. Might need on of those SPECIAL FORD TOOL NUMBER things.... Good luck George
