In this video I go over the most common source for oil leaks on the Ford 6.0L Powerstroke.

[@waynewilliams1922]

I respect that you answer almost every comment. That's rare . This video was incredibly helpful. I just got a 6.0 and had no idea where the leak was and this is it. Thanks again bud.

[@borninkaraj]

I love the internet,and the guys who know their shit and save me a crap load of $

[@benslanginhunies]

U and me both

[@ChapsUnlimited]

Wow thanks for the tip. I will check to see if that's where my leak is coming from.

[@onedegreetech]

Best part is the music in the background! Thanks for the helpful info!

[@johnmcgowanireland695]

Excellent tutorial! I am doing the same thing on my 06 but I am using Mishimoto parts due to Ford not having the upper boot until January. I did make sure that they do have the ridge on the inside to mate up with the tube, I also watched a pressure test video by Mishimoto that shows there's can take more pressure.

[@DukesofoffroadHazzard]

So I just bought my self a new to me 2006 f250 and that same hose is black like that!!! Thank you for this video!!! I’ll post a video showing the same issue. I had no clue what was going on!

[@orlyhorse]

Really helpful I'm having the same problem ..thank you keep doing videos

[@drjameswell]

Love the music playing in background

[@gradymerritt8737]

drjameswell your Grace is enough for me

[@semtech30]

I freaked out when I saw oil in the tube. Glad you mentioned that the turbo passes a bit of oil. I was thinking the seal may be going. ?? I will monitor the situation. I don't experience oil loss or smoke so that's good. Thanks for the demos. "Great job"

[@oil1252]

Very helpful, thanks so much. It really helped me out a lot.

great video. love the music brother. sounds like z88.3

Sweet video I like ur choice of music in background

[@Colorado4x4]

Awesome video! Thank you a bunch!

[@ploxplox1109]

THANKS FOR THE HELP think upper boot leaking another job to do

[@johnathanbrooks06]

A lot of good information I actually have a low boost code po 299 and i think its coming from the CAC boots have a crack in them I also have that oil leak dripping around the bottom of the transmission hopefully this will fix both problems

[@FordTechMakuloco]

It can be bad enough it will cause a p0299, you might as well fix the tubes rest pcm and retest since you know the boots are bad anyway.

[@drewrobbins2]

I love you background music!

[@conceptsken1]

WELL EXPLAINED! THANK YOU!

[@fast2valve559]

Im looking at an 06 6.0 with 218,000 miles. I noticed the oil on the back side of both heads and on the bottom of bellhousing. Going to look and see if this cac tube is the culprit. Its bulletproofed and deleted, but i smelles the antifreeze and it has a diesel odor to it, dealer said they installed a new oil cooler and flushed the coolant system and the flush they used is why it smells like diesel.🤔 Does the flush actually create they odor, or would he more likely be cracked injector cup?

[@enriquegarrido2078]

Awesome video. But what about the other side. (Driver) what’s the part number for those TIA

[@Millennium1Auto]

How can you get oil in there is supposed to be a vitamin system? I too the crankcase ventilation and have it plug at the turbo donut should be dry. But still getting oil there and now it’s blowing inside the intake.

[@johnef805]

I have a P0299 low boost code, can the 6.0 Ford CAC Charge air cooler hoses be the problem? Thanks

[@BlakeRobison-jh3ft]

I have a small roofing business and when i hear christain music in the back i know im in good hands 🙌 come lord jesus

[@appliancerepairshorts]

You are an awesome diesel mechanic. On my 6.0 I have oil under the turbo. Truck starts, but no power. Unplugged the vgt solenoid and sounds better. Would the oil return for the turbo give those symptoms?

[@calebsiegel6995]

How much oil is typical? If you can smell it In the exhaust I would assume that is too much correct?

[@neryyrosa83]

quick question why you got oil in the line it supposed to get oil hinder

[@nolansmokes]

Why do the couplers have steel bands on them? I’m guessing to retain their structure?

[@cerwin21]

Do smoke test produce enough pressure to test for leaks on this charge air system. Just regulate my psi to 25psi?

[@RuralLivingwithJesse]

mine is doing that are my turbo seals bad?

[@devonmccormick690]

absolutely blessed to come across this video. Will be doing this over the weekend. Thank you very much! Also, any tips on cleaning up the valley? Techniques or products to use?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

+Devon McCormick A hot engine, turned off then spray foaming engine degreaser let it do its thing then high pressure garden hose is the best to clean the components and engine valley. I like to blow dry it clean with compressed air then let it run to dry out the rest then proceed with component replacement like normal once it cools.

[@hot99pas]

S100, I use it on my motorcycles, spray, let sit and hose off. Best cleaner I have found.

[@jacobhanline5166]

I got a 2006 6.0 and I replaced the boots and it keeps blowing it off near the turbo and at 90 a boot it's starting to cost me can you help

[@ivanpacheco5791]

I have a 2008 6.4 super duty 180.000 mL oil is coming out tail pipe it have power no engine light on not sure if is only a turbo seal leek can you give me some suggestions...I'm a gasoline mechanic...is my first diesel...

[@Here_W3_Go]

I have almost identically oil build up as you showed in this video minute 2:30. I checked the elbow and has the cracks. Replacements should be coming in today. I don’t notice any other spot where oil is leaking but my truck won’t start when hot and long cranks when cold. Dumb question but will this cause that to happen or is it a safe bet that I need to clean/replace IPR or find where o-ring may be leaking? Whether it be from standpipe, dummy plug, injector.

[@hectorrodriguez4801]

Same here I want to know

[@semtech30]

All that oil is accumulate from the sucking the vapor out of the crankcase on top of the driver side valve cover. I did a bypass and now she's clean and dry.

[@FleetTech97]

Would this cause small puddles over night.

[@Noktic]

If I have a bunch of cracks in my upper boot and have oil coming out will that cause me to have no boost? I hit a big pothole and lost all boost iv checked everything and all I found was this elbo has cracks in it

[@jeremiahstyburski5047]

Would bad cac boots make the truck sound like a vacuum when taking off from a stop? I've noticed it does it when it's hot out lately

[@damianwilliams2671]

[@orlandosantellano4251]

What’s the part# for these boots

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

My cac boots a ready to be changed. They look the same as this truck. Must be minimal oil coming out cuz i dont have to add a drop between changes. I run rotella t6 syn 5w40. How many miles would you run berween changes. Previous owner lost the manual.

[@calebsiegel6995]

3000 miles between changes as recommended to keep oil as clean as possibly while still getting use out of the life of the oil.

[@bobsdogtag]

how do you feel about removing from intake and venting thru hose to atmosphere ?

[@hectorrodriguez4801]

Hello sir an everybody really need your help,iv found a big crack on mine upper boot hose...you think because of that i loose power? My peddle goes down an no acceleration..can that crack boots cause that?

[@Mebob2001]

haha good one dude! i would be thinking turbo feed tube or drain tube! or a leak i have yet to have to fix, bed plate! done an oil pan in chassie, thats fun! hahaha tight but doable!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yeah none of those leaks down there are fun.

[@Mebob2001]

ye i know... i know some ford techs do a bed plate in chassie which i think is insane! but there choice!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yes I have heard that too

Yup

Thanks sir 100%

[@chadsmith8779]

Mine flutters after a hard accel on the decel. Is that a sticking Turbo?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Chad Smith Yes exactly the vanes are sticking.

[@lolarosser2727]

is it possible to have low boost on take off with this problem?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yes if there is an actual blow out in the connection

[@tylerdubbin3316]

I have a pretty severe leak on my 04 and it looks like the same exact spot as this. I am seeing 5 or so dime size drips in 10 minutes of sitting off. How extreme can these leaks get?

[@flats-hopper4351]

Was the leak caused by the boot? I think I have the same leak! Small drips first, bigger puddle over night

[@joshbrown5736]

@@flats-hopper4351 either of you find out?

[@raysloan7678]

Whats the average mileage to replace the boots ?Thanks Ray

[@FordTechMakuloco]

+Ray Sloan I would say at least 60k miles.

I'm super happy to hear Cristian music playing

[@DarrinsChannel]

What about under boost mine keeps saying I have that when I hook it up to the scanner

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Under boost is almost always the turbo itself sticking. Does yours flutter after a hard accel on the decel ever?

[@billjones5178]

Driving at 55mph , heard load boom, like shotgun under hood, lost power,suspect boost, or turbo! How do I know if it is from turbo or the hose in these video? 2004 6.0 ?

[@danieldarcy6450]

Hose came off

[@MDOProductions28]

what upgrade to that whole turbo hot side would you recommend. I am installing a CAI to my 6.0 and I would like to upgrade that side as well.

[@user-wh8oh1gd5f]

Name for that boots please

[@thomasbailey8755]

I know this is an old post but I suspect I have bad boots. Will you maintain boost pressure even with a crack in the boot?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

If it’s only surface cracks no big deal if the boot is slit then you will lose boost.

[@ebehrman]

If that much oil blows out of the cracks in the hose onto the motor, how much oil do you think is blowing through the inter-cooler? Have you ever cleaned your inter-cooler. I replaced my boots, but I am wondering about what is inside my 04 6.0 l inter-cooler. Could it be restricting air flow/power?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

No I just work on the customer vehicles. The oil carryover is normal and it comes through the other side no plugging is suspect.

[@aerodicus]

I was thinking the same thing, so I installed a catch can and re routed the crank case hose to it, then blocked off the intake port.

[@ericblunk1065]

will this cause massive oil leaks?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Eric Blunk No nothing massive unless it fully splits then all the oil carryover will come out as you drive.

[@travisthompson8905]

would a bad boot cause a high pitched louder whistle when accelerating. no loss of power.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Most likely head gaskets

[@davidgay1913]

I have a 04 fird f250 and it has the same leak. Only leaks when you have driven it and let it sit.

I have an 04, does the same thing. I am chasing that leak currently.

[@davidgay1913]

@brianmcnary9997 going to be your oil cooler. Thats what mine was

[@jeffreynolasco7025]

Will that cause boast leak? And a lot of black smoke ?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

sticking egr valve is most common

@@FordTechMakuloco ​ thanks for the tips i cleaned out the EGR valve then added additive in the fuel but then it would just crank and wouldn't start. after further investigation and a few meltdowns i noticed the FICM Fuel Injection Control Module cables bracket was broken and they had disconnected so i plug them back in and zip tied it. guess it worked lol

[@semtech30]

Update..........fixed the oil problem. Re-route the crankcase ventilation tube from the turbo boot inlet to the outside and plug the hole. There is an amazing amount of oil vapor drawn in through the turbo. Your silicone boots will slip off the tubes and coat the inside. What a mess. Don't plug off the vent at the valve cover. Run a pipe down to the ground to expel pressure. Another Ford fail.
