Product Overview
Oil collecting in the engine valley and running down the back of a 7.3L can look like a rear-main leak. When the trail begins at the turbo pedestal, hardened yellow O-rings or the base gasket are common service points.
This kit reseals the pedestal-to-engine and turbo mounting area shown. It will not stop oil from leaking at high-pressure lines, the HPOP reservoir, valve covers, turbo bearings, or an EBPV actuator shaft.
Verify the turbo and pedestal configuration, including EBPV or deleted setups, and compare every gasket and O-ring before the turbo is removed.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application that is not shown above. Model year, production date, serial number, engine or equipment specification, installed options, and previous repairs can change fitment. Match the original part, reference number, dimensions, connectors, mounting points, and product photos before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this fix oil running down the transmission bellhousing? A: It can if the leak begins at the turbo pedestal, but several 7.3L oil sources drain through the same valley.
Q: Does it fix an EBPV actuator leak? A: Not necessarily. An actuator-shaft leak may require pedestal repair or replacement.
Q: Should the seals be changed whenever the turbo is removed? A: Replacing disturbed, heat-aged seals during access is generally sensible when the correct kit is confirmed.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
