FORD 6.7 UPPER OIL PAN LEAKING?! HOW TO FIX IT!

How to remove and re seal both the upper and lower oil pans on a Ford 6.7 diesel.
TRANSMISSION REMOVAL VIDEO
• 2017 FORD F250 F350 6....

[@deeno1648]

Just replaced the upper oil pan in 2016 with these videos. Great job. A tip to those who don’t want to do this again, though. Find a pan out of a 2011, they have the pressed gasket that isn’t prone to leaking.

[@JaegerWrenching]

Great video, I was ready to do mine myself and realized it was under warranty for another 500 miles and took it in to the dealer lol. I didn't get a new pan like you did unfortunately, but the tech seemed to have done a decent job which is kind of rare these days. They also warrantied my draglink, steering damper, fog lights, and the rubber tailgate bump stops which I did a video on fixing the flawed factory design. I give you props for doing this all in your garage, it's not easy and my neck usually hurts the day after lol.

[@ronrabasco4296]

It looks like I need to tackle this on my 2016. I just want to thank you for the efforts to make this vid.

[@TonyLasagna]

I’ve found that if you are replacing the pan, and can get one, using the old 2011 upper oil pan + gasket is the way to go. It fits just like the newer ones, but with a groove for a gasket before they cheaped out and went into the silicone only seals for this. That all being said, that was a pretty damn good and satisfying job you did there on that silicone application! I’ve seen some of these jerkoff mechanics really fuck this up haha.

[@SF-rl7hl]

It makes no difference. The gasket pans fail just as much as the silicone only pans. 4-5 years 80-100k miles. They all leak!

[@TonyLasagna]

@@SF-rl7hl 🤷🏻‍♂️ i’m at 200k without a single leak

[@yairv101]

exactly, I don’t know why they use that stupid silicone. I rather have a paper or rubber gasket. I’ve always used if I can a paper gasket and some RTV.

[@jamieofalltrades536]

Mine's in the shop having this done right now. There are also dealing with a turbo oil supply line leak. Fortunately I paid for the extended warranty when I bought the used truck. I knew full and well when I purchased the truck that diesels were much more expensive than gas rigs when it came to repairs and I'm not well versed in diesel mechanics, so I thought it was a good idea and apparently it is going to pay off. Thanks for the video, I was going to tackle this myself and I can see that it is a pretty extensive repair job that will probably take at least a day, if not more for someone unskilled like myself.

[@SF-rl7hl]

Try 3 days at the Ford Dealer and $3,700. You need to have them replace rear main seal while they are in there!

[@vannclowdus952]

I have found that if you remove engine mount nuts on pass side then jack up motor about 1/2 and put some blocks that are about 1/2 it will give you some room on that pass side oil pan rail. Enough to get a milwaukee 1/4 cordless ratchet in there and it doesnt take long to do. I have found it easier to jack directly on the engine mount studs though.

Oh holy sh*t. Was going to look at a used 2012 F250 diesel for sale. I can't imagine doing this on the floor of my garage. I'm still smarting from an 04 mustang convertible, internet purchase I made years ago. Completely destroyed my winning streak of car flips. Just do one every couple of years. Ride for awhile and sell for more. Then, another disaster with an 04 Buick Lesabre. Finally... it sold and made some money in order to buy a truck. My advice. Don't buy a Buick. At the very least, make sure the headliner is not dropping. Pulling that headliner took me almost 4 hours. Another4 hours to clean it. And then, took me and my upholstery guy, 4 hours to put the b*tch back in. Thank you for posting this detailed video. Awesome job. Video was great. I would like to try it, even. I'm old and like to do some hard stuff, just to be able to say I did it. :).

What a gigantic pain in the ass! This is my second 6.7. Had the oil leak fixed three times in my 11’ and it was still leaking when I sold it. My 17’ is leaking oil at 60,000 miles and they won’t fix it because it’s lifted. Awesome video man, I may try to tackle this on my own down the road.

[@michaelabbey6073]

In my experience while fixing these oil leaks, we were first doing the oil pan but kept having repeat repairs. Turns out it mostly likely isn’t the oil pan but the rear cover or front cover gasket leaking. Started resealing the entire engine. Front cover, rear cover and upper and lower oil pans. Didn’t have any come backs after doing this.

[@dougcox4310]

@@michaelabbey6073 found out that it’s the CCV causing these leaks. If not replaced at or before 50,000 miles they clog and create back pressure in the oil pan blowing the seals. Trucks with high idle hours are more susceptible

[@25yearfleettechnician63]

Have a 2017 leaking at 30k. No crankcase pressure issue. Definitely front timing cover seeping down along upper oil pan seam then down at passenger side trans cooler line bracket and harness stud. Definitely agree with sealing timing cover and oil pans.

I do oil pans all the time as a power stroke tech, on the 17 & up trucks I actually loosen the passenger side motor mount and jack it up and place steel plates under it so you can get the tricky upper pan bolts. Also I never take the oil cooler all the way off, pull it through with the hose attached and hang it over the front diff

[@Cruising200]

Do you still pull the trans?

[@vincentgelvez]

Are the steel plates you place just for safety?

[@TheAplhabeta]

@@Cruising200 Yessir, every time. If the rear main or back of the oil pan leaks it can seep oil into the belhousing and it’s easier to get the pan off with the transmission and flywheel out of the way

[@spartanoverlanding300]

Thanks for the video. 2018 here with 47k and has only been at the dealership for service. I went to look at something else and noticed my upper pan has a small leak on the passenger side and it looks like it has been leaking for sometime now. Will need to have a talk with my service rep and have it taken care of under warranty.

[@arturomoreno2294]

Quick question, noticed you didn't apply silicone to the 2 back & 2 front corners of the block that connect to the rear cover & front cover. Did you experience any leak afterwards?

[@stevegill920]

Great video, the Ford garage told me they have to pull my motor out to fix my upper pan gasket leak. I see from your video that's not necessarily true.

[@humbertomajinvega-ir7vm]

Great job buddy excellent my 2015 f350 send problem, do you know what part # is for upper oil pan

[@thermalnerds1468]

Debating undertaking this on my 2014 F350. The dealer originally said I had a vac pump leak. That was repaired by them and the oil continued to leak. Then they diagnosed as a rear main leak. They never cleaned any of the oil from the bottom or used any dye. After I cleaned everything and inspected it looks as though my upper and lower oil pans are both leaking. I guess once I get into this I will be able to see if the rear main is leaking also LOL

[@woodysworkshop816]

Yea this is a very common leak. When I removed the old pan the cause was obvious. The silicone was very thin/ not properly bonded in the front corners. I considered doing the rear main as preventative maintenance but it was bone dry so I decided not to mess with it.

[@scottgarmon4865]

I’m about to do this job tomorrow. I am a spoiled Cummins tech and am biased with the power stroke.

[@nervousordo]

First check the separator filter. If it's clogged then it will put back pressure on the oil system and cause pan leaks. Easy way to tell is to remove oil cap while engine is running. If the cap blows off or you can feel air coming out of oil fill inlet then you have a clogged filter.

[@codyrogan4514]

All diesels have blow by.

[@wisetow10]

Throw that filter away and do a CCV delete. We plumb ours into the exhaust. Cleans that motor up

[@ruizg26]

Do these 6.7 not have a rear main seal? Wouldn't it be smarter to swap it while you're there

[@letsgobrandon7112]

Damn,....labor intensive!! How many hour fix is this? What happened where these things are all leaking? Did you take notice as to factory caulking missing on your pan?

[@woodysworkshop816]

I believe Ford warranty labor time is somewhere between 10-12 hours. This was my first time so I wasn't in a rush. The majority of other trucks I've seen with this leak are due to an insufficient amount of silicone being applied at the joints where the upper pan, block and front timing cover meet. My leak has been progressively getting worse and was from the drivers side front corner.

I hear these oil pan leaks are from plugged CCV's. Have you thought about replacing your CCV with a filter, with the CCV without the filter that Ford changed over to ~ 2019?

[@jaredmayer3960]

CCV couldn’t make the crankcase pressure high enough to cause this to leak. You’ll blow the main crankshaft seals out first.

[@jnuechte]

@@jaredmayer3960 have you done testing to know this with confidence? Interested in the info behind your claim. Most blame the ccv as the root cause.

[@jaredmayer3960]

@@jnuechte silicone when liquid and crushed between 2 surfaces literally is capable of 1000,s of PSI, your crank seals blow out or will be chewed up by the seal surface and fail at less than 15 PSI, they will not take pressure. The plastic oil filler cap wouldn’t take crankcase pressure generated from a plugged CCV either. I’ve frozen a breather on an engine before and the crankshaft seals pushed out. The whole idea that a CCV restriction causes this is ridiculous. Liquid sealant needs to be on a clean surface, in an adequate quantity, and has to be free of contaminants to vulcanize to the surfaces. The most likely reason it the factory silicone isn’t holding up and is leaking is because they chinced out and didn’t put enough on or it was too “dry” before they mated the surfaces.

[@ramzyotoum4047]

@@michelsanchez7057 I wouldn’t say it’s the cause. The 6.7 have a crankcase oil separator with a filter in it that becomes clogged and can lead to oil consumption, however, that only really effects trucks that sit a idle for a long period of time. Like spectrum trucks for example. Why the upper oil pans leak.. good question. I think it’s due to the meeting points of the engine block and the front cover.. that’s where I see them all leaking. Left front side of the upper oil pan. But with a good clean reseal it takes care of it

[@ramzyotoum4047]

And for the oil consumption problem the remedy is to replace the crankcase oil separator with a superseded part (filter is not serviceable on the new one) and do a pcm update. Dealers can do that

I been working exclusivity on powerstrokes since 95. And is much easier taking the cab off. By the time you take off the transmission, the cab can be taken out. Then you take off the 2 motor mounts off and lift the engine. Much better quality work without crawling 600 times under.
