I have a 1996 F350 PS that has an oil leak. The oil is coming from the passenger side, runs down that side if the tranny, and drip off ogf the bottom of the tranny. It is engine oil and it doesn't leak when the engine is running but rather as soon as I shut it off. Probably 10 drips per minuteand it slows up the longer the engine is shut down. I replaced the o rings in the pedistal tha the turbo sits on and there was evidence of oil leaking in the area of the bottom o ring. I power washed the valley and drove the truck and when I parked it, still had a leak. It seems to be coming from the same side as the weep hole just below the turbo. Any ideas??? Thanks
