So your 6.7 POWERSTROKE has an oil leak? Vacuum Pump Gasket Repair

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2020
- Listen, I'm just a guy who bought a F250 Super Duty with some issues. In this video we're looking at an oil leak off the front of the motor that will look like a front main or oil pan gasket leak, however it's a little simpler than that.
Here's the Genuine ford gasket I used in the video

Just did the same thing to my 2011, thanks for the instructions! Tip for next guy: an air ratchet will make removing the fan assembly an easy job, such a pain to get at the bolts with hand tools.
Thanks for the comment and suggestion, and I couldnt agree more about a ratchet, I actually got myself a milwaukee battery powered ratchet shortly after this and wish I had got it before this video. Consider subscribing if you havent, its free and helps me keep making helpful videos for other people. Thanks again.
Saved me from my local dealer's habit of trying to bamboozle $$$ out of an ignorant old gal! Thanks! Followed your video & fixed my leak myself.
Thats awesome to hear! Glad to see people that arent scared to get their hands dirty and do some repairs themselves. Good Luck with your 6.7 and thanks for watchin!
From one cheap ass to another you did a great job on this video. Clear easy to follow steps so anyone who wants to try can have a go at it with some directions. GOOD JOB!!!
Thanks I prefer to tell people I work on vehicles myself for the learning experience but let's be honest, I do it myself because I can't pay someone $5-600 to do something I can do for free lol
Dude you rock what a great video I was told that that was almost an eight hour job and that I should not attempt it but as a Field Service Mechanics I got a try thank you again
As a guy who sits behind a desk during the week and only turns wrenches on the weekends, I could knock this out in 2-3 ish hours if it wasnt for videoing it. Definitely not and 8 hour job and definitely not that difficult to do.
Very helpful,my have saved me a lot of money,this leak on my truck is different from the 4 oil pan replacement ive had.Thank You much
Glad I could help, I can't imagine doing the oil pan on one of these units, hopefully you get it squared away.
Thanks for the extra detail on removing the air intake. Most videos skip this step. I don’t know what I’m doing, but I can follow directions.
Also, I appreciate your humor. From the “hi mom“ at the beginning to the “anti-rust“ at the end. That’s my engine compartment right now. Anti-rust coating everything.
Thanks for the comment, without making a hour long video it's hard to cover every detail but I tried to get most of the high level steps. Good luck if you decode to do the repair, patience is key especially removing and installing that big fan bracket.
I tried the repair, and it worked. Thanks again!
To anyone reading and wondering if they can do this, my advice would be…when taking off the fan bracket, start with the bolt on the passenger side bottom. To me, that was the hardest part. If you can get that bolt out, you should be good on everything else. It’s just hard to reach and requires the right combination of socket extensions, ratchets, breaker bars and swear words.
Sophie Morris good advice! Glad you got it worked out.
Hahahahah this video is awesome and your personality is gold. Just found this video looking up how to fix my vac pump leak. Liked and subbed🤙
Thanks man! Good luck with the repair!
Appreciate the video. This is exactly what was wrong with my 2014. Two of the four bolts were backed out and could take them out by hand.
What started out as I’m probably going to have to take this to the shop, ended with a sense of self satisfaction thanks to your video.
Some music while doing the job and rewarding ice cold beverage(s) of choice at the end makes it go by faster.
Glad you got her fixed up. I always leave feeling like I "know my truck" better which is always good.
Thanks for taking the time to comment btw!
Thanks for making the video, I noticed oil on my last oil change about 5000 miles ago, just a little on the freeze looking plug on the front of the oil pan and AC compressor mount bolt and thought aww crap, now it’s more after two weeks with the next oil change and so it had me crawling under the truck today and looking behind the fan mount area, pretty sure it’s this vacuum pump gasket as the oil has wicked back toward the right cylinder head and under the egr cooler so going to order up the gasket and fan belt tomorrow and get into it this weekend it looks like before I need the truck to tow my big equipment trailer soon. Thanks for the details, especially on some of the bolt lengths and steps of getting the clutch fan mount off!
Good luck with it, once you get into it its not as bad as it seems. Once you get that fan out if the way its pretty smooth sailing but that fan can put up a fight lol like another person commented, a battery or air ratchet would help a lot as some of those bolts dont have much room to turn a standard ratchet. Obviously it can be done with manual tools too just like I did here.
@@BCDriven got all the parts today, gasket, belt and some idler pulleys incase their on their way out while I m in there, we’ll see how it goes this weekend, need to remember to bring my air racket home this weekend!
@@royaloaksranch2401 nice, a little preventative maintenance never hurts.
Well done man! I’m gonna fix mine this weekend after seeing how easy you made it thanks a lot. Anytime your in Panhandle of Fl I’ll buy you and your family a meal!!
Appreciate the kind words man. It's not too bad of a job, just do it when you can take your time and not get in a rush and you'll be golden.
@@BCDriven dude that is key in everything thanks for your patience and passing that on! you are very good at making videos keep up the good work!
@@BCDriven I’m not able to see or feel the leak anywhere but looks like it’s gotta be that vacuum pump. I already had my rear main done and both pans re sealed back at 80ish k ain’t had a drip since and I’m at 240 on a 2016 like yours. Even with 3.44 gears she pulls like a mule. Kinda cool how we have dual alternators thanks again
Thank you this did wonders for me in the shop today
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for the informative video:)
My F-750 just started leaking, now I know what I'm up against!
F-750 thats a hoss!
But it still has the 6.7 in it!
Also has the vacuum pump and also has air brakes, so it's not there for brakes, wondering what the vacuum pump even does:(
Saved me a lot of money. Everything went exactly as in your video. I can't thank you enough.
Glad it was useful and thanks for watchin!
Thanks for the tip, I have a 2018 with 40k and the pump is leaking. love me some Ford!
Theyre great trucks once you get the kinks ironed out. They really wake up with a tune and ... Well with some factory equipment removed lol
Great video thanks a million fixed my oil leak
Thanks for watching!
This is the best video out there!!!
So here's my problem i was driving home in my 2016 F250 Diesel and all of the sudden my freaking brakes were hard to come to a stop so i freaked out and white smoke was coming out of the exhaust all at the same time!! I know my vacuum pump has been leaking for over a year now....
But does the vacuum pump failure cause white smoke to come out of the exhaust?.......
Thank you!!!
Arthur
Unfortunately I can't be of any help to you Arthur as that issue isn't one I'm familiar with.
I just wanted to say thanks for watching and commenting.
Man you made it seem so easy 🤙🏼
Its not that bad of a job honestly, just time consuming. And thats coming from a guy with a desk job lol
Thanks for the great video. I may pay to have this done, I may try it myself. Either way - I feel confident it's pretty straight forward! -Best regards
Either way you go hope you get it squared away. It wasnt a hard process, just a little aggravating getting to some of the bolts.
We appreciate your help thanks
Good deal, hope it helps people out.
Great job
Thanks!
I want to thank you for the information. I have a 2016 with 54k miles and noticed the oil in my driveway. Took it to the dealer and he said one of the bolts was missing and the others were loose. i had to tell him it was still under warranty, since the diesel engine is warranted for 8 years or 80k miles.
Glad you got it fixed up and didnt have to get elbow deep in and oily mess haha
Where did you see the 6.7 powerstroke engine warranty is 8 yrs or 80k miles. All I info find says 5 yrs or 80k... mine has 78k miles but is 7yrs...so need your help if possible to fit the dealer to do for free.😊
Thanks alot, I was thinking Damm main until your video.
Exactly what I thought too. Good luck with getting it patched up.
Spot on with details and great information dealer wanted 1500 in CA thanks man well appreciated for your time and info
Good luck with the repair eh!
Everything went as explained pretty simple, not alot of space to play with. If you don't have the little china man hands. Freaking dread the oil leaks on these diesels my 6.0 costed me thousands from the main bearing to my bed plate leaking pain in the rear
There were definitely times I had to hold my tongue just the right way to get a bolt in or out lol Glad you got it all worked out.
Hey bud so did the fix is it normal still get a dimple of oil bout ran her 1k on some miles today hauling some weight maybe was thinking some oil that sat up in the spots or residual coming down from the leak what do you think
@@dylanreed2474 I was getting a drip for a day or two after so I shot some engine degreaser up there and rinsed it down and didnt have any issues afterwards.
Thanks very helpful.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very good video
Thanks, just trying to build a good library of knowledge to help others out.
Cheap ass saves world. Thanks for the good video.
The way I look at it is I haven't learned much paying someone else to do it. Thanks for watching.
They forgot to tighten those bolts down but put blue lock tight on the bolts that hold down the plastics below the windshield 🤦♂️. Thanks for the video. I’m gonna be tackling this soon as mine is leaking from the bottom bolt
Yeah they did some questionable things on these trucks, hope the video helps you out.
I'm going to tighten mine, too. The truck only has 65k miles, so I'm not going to change gasket
Thank you friend
Thanks for watching, hope your repair goes smoothly
I bought the Ford extended warranty, and Ford is covering mine, along with the backup camera and the power mirror motor.
Good to hear warranty covered it. Evidently the backup camera is another common failure as mine has went out as well.
Good vid man! My 16 isn’t leaking yet just watched this for when the time comes lol
Consider yourself one of the few lol
My 16 is.
@@BCDriven I bought it at 186k she has 206 now. Perhaps it happened to the PO?
@@nombr good chance it was, but if it aint broke dont fix it lol
Great video! Just bought my 16’ and it’s leaking. Thankfully I just bought it used 10 days ago and was getting under the truck to change the fuel filter. Glad I did and noticed the leak.
Thank you man God bless
No problem, good luck with the repair.
I aint old enough to drive yet but thank you
Thanks very much for posting. Why they don't put loktite on something that's a pain to get to and low torque is just plain mean spirited.
For sure, especially on something that sees a lot of vibration like, oh I don't know, a diesle engine haha
2 months out of warranty….. hey, where’s this oil coming from. Talk to dealer…. Known problem. Nope. No love. Thanks for the video, got what I need to fix it myself.
Thats a dealership for you. Good luck with it man. Ive got a giveaway going on my newest video if you want to check it out. Chance it some free tools, just saying.
Great video! You saved my @$$ buddy. Thanks!
Glad it was useful, thanks for watchin
Good vid bro! 🤜🏼✨🤛🏼 Wish you were my neighbor so that I can just pay you to fix mine lol!
Thanks man and thats why I dont have neighbors 🤣🤣
@@BCDriven don’t blame you, I don’t have too many either so love the piece and quiet..
Good deal
Thanks for watching!
hello, can you please tell me if you ever know on a 6.7 front crank shaft seal replacement ( did it the right way) the seal still leaking, the mechanic said, it happens because the crank shaft is moving back and forward, do this happens to you ever?
I'm not super familiar with that issue, but I could see a slight bit of movement on the crank if the thrust bearings were worn or damaged but I would think a new seal would still take care of the leak. The crank might have gotten scarred removing the old seal or the seal might have gotten torn when installing it. Good luck with it either way, hopefully you get it figured out.
Hey thanks. Can you just tighten the bolts without tearing things apart? Assuming no alternator in the way.
I think you can get barely get the top 2 if you hold your tongue the right way, but not the bottom 2 because that bracket that the fan is on blocks them. Problem being that its usually the bottom ones that leak with gravity and all. Don't hold me to it but thats what I remember.
You can take the belt and bracket off and just tighten the pump bolts without taking the pump off but that fan bracket is what puts up the most fight not so much the pump.
I removed only the two accessible bolts near the top, which were both loose. Sprayed brake cleaner in the holes and used blue loctite when I reinstalled them. That can all be done without removing any other parts. It slowed my oil leak enough that I never got around to doing it right like you did.
Great video. Thanks from California
Did you have to torq the fan clutch mount?
I mean yeah I'm sure there's a torque spec that should be followed but I just went with the tight, but not too tight method lol
Have a 2012 f250 with the 6.7 Changed oil other day and it was jello, had a knock on bottom of motor after adding additional oil that went away ,And now the top passenger side is knocking ,Not a death knock but a
Concerned knock, unsure if it’s fuel or oil related
Is it a knock or more of a tick? My 6.7 always ticked after oil changes and was evidently super common. Google 6.7 oil change tick.
@@BCDriven it’s definitely a knock, Started yesterday so I could move it, Ran scanner, reductant pressure to low, misfire on cylinder 5,Reductant leakage .And bad contribution/Balance
Will take a video in just a few, Have bad truck just over a year ,Has 91k on her
Good video on air pump seal replacement. How long did it take to complete job? Thx.
For me it was about 3-4 hours, BUT I'm not a fast worker, I was trying to video it, and I really didn't have a clue what the correct order of operations was. Plus it was particularly hot that day so I was taking water breaks frequently. I'm not a professional mechanic, just a home gamer. I would say someone more prepared that is a faster worker could knock it out in an hour or two.
Whats the anticipated time for the repair? Did you put a new belt on while you had it off? Im at 119K and have this issue to fix.
If you had your tool cart loaded up, a decent place to work on it, and were a pretty decent mechanic I could see a person knocking this out in 2 hours give or take a bit. That being said I think I had closer to 5 hours in mine due to running in and out of the garage for tools, camera stuff, and water/ AC breaks. A lot of my time was wasted trying to get the camera set in a place where you could see what I was doing or setting in the AC cooling off. (I have a desk job for a reason)
Also I didn't change the belt but It honestly could have used it, it had a very slight bit of cracking when flexed over. That was a planning failure on my part, I just forgot to get the belt.
@@BCDriven sounds good. I will be tackling this over the next few days, once my Gasket arrives. Good informative video
@@chrisadkins5819 awesome good luck! I bet those bottom two bolts will be barely finger tight if it was anything like mine
Hoping this is the fix to my Ford version of "A River Runs Through It" on my driveway but with oil instead of Brad Pitt....
Thanks man, enjoyed the content.
Hopefully your good at fly fishing haha Good Luck with the repair either way lol
Do you have to drain the motor oil to perform this job? I’m wondering if the oil will leak out.
Less than a half a quart might come out but draining the oil won't prevent it from coming out. This is above the oil level of the motor so its really just the little bit sitting behind the pump that comes out.
BC Driven thank you. I noticed that it was leaking today.
I think they all leak, it just takes a while for most people to notice it lol
No sealer is required on the gasket?
No it didnt have anything from the factory and I didnt want to chance it. I mean it couldnt hurt though.
It looks like your dipstick reads like mine; always looks over, even after a fresh change.
The oil always crept up and thinned out, I just figured it was some fuel blow by since the truck had so many miles on it.
Thats my year truck and I love it. Will try to tackle it in a weekend. Nice video too! How many miles is on your beast? I'm at 80k
Only a few more than you havr lol 170k haha I put 1000 on it this weekend alone
@@BCDriven any problems with your egr or dpf?
Cant give you problems if they're not there lol but no none before the delete and tune
I’m on 318k
@@ALUMNI2K nice any issues? radiator, oil cooler, turbo? anything unusual for a truck with 300k miles?
👍
Thanks!
Cometary at the end cracked me up.
As a younger guy I used to enjoy hearing all the shop talk and jokes as my grandfather worked on vehicles, most of which can't be repeated on TH-cam lol
i tried to just retorque it and still had a leak, so i had to fully pull it apart any ways
Some people get lucky with it and some dont. I just figured since I was gonna be elbow deep anyways I might as well pull it apart. Did you replace the gasket or just clean it up and reseal it?
@@BCDriven i replaced the gasket and put permatex on the threads so the bolts wont come loose again because i did not want to use Loctite for obvious reasons
@@NicManGun understandable, the blue stuff is pretty mild even in aluminum. Either way good to hear you got it sealed up.
My friend
Di I have to drain the oil engine?
No you do not. A small amount might spill out if you have started the truck recently but its less than half a quart at most.
@@BCDriven thank you so much
No problem. If you could help me out and give the video a thumbs up or subscribe I would greatly appreciate it.
Or your aunt that loves you! 💖
Thanks for watchin Aunt Kat!
Here's the Genuine ford gasket I used in the video
amzn.to/3bYAQ3H
And here’s an aftermarket version with faster shipping
amzn.to/3Pqv3SX
Thanks for the video brother. Now I know the issue with my truck. As for all the snowflakes that are offended in one way or the other from your commentary, take your comments and piss off. FYF
Doesn't matter what you do, someone's going to be upset about it. I literally couldn't care less that someone doesn't watch a video because I called my own truck a dumpster fire lol I just smile and move along.
Was thinking about a ford but after watching all the oil leak and turbo issues I think I’ll look at GM. And can the US fking switch too the metric system.
Yeah the turbo problems are usually associated with the eadlier models but ill of them seem to have this damn oil leak lol
And if the oil leak is on the back side of the motor you have to pull the transmission to fix it. WTF!!!!!
Well I would have watched your video except I'm a HUGE fan of the so called "dumpster fire" so goodbye.....I LOVE MY F-350!!!
Theyre good trucks but like all brands have their problems. If we cant poke fun at ourselves, we cant poje fun at others is the way i see it.
People in these comments are so butt hurt that you called YOUR OWN TRUCK a dumpster fire 🤣. I own nothing but Fords and love them but I call them worse names than dumpster fire when I have to work on them!
Right lol I just call it like I see it. I love the truck as much as the next guy but it's got it's problems just like any other.
Ford has been a dumpster fire for the last 5 decades. That would be the last day a 3 or 4 year old truck would leak oil on my concrete driveway.
Oddly enough that was the last day it leaked oil in my driveway lmao $13 gasket and a few hours of labor are really no big deal to me. I really like the 6.7 powerstroke over the all the Duramax trucks I drove. They all had way more giddy up on my butt dyno.
It's not your truck you don't care that's not cool
Thanks for commenting but I'm not sure what you're commenting about specifically. This is is my truck and I do care, heck I care more about other people's cars when I work on them than I do my own.
You lost me at dumpster fire, kick a can chucklehead
I paid my own hard earned money for this POS, I'll call it what I want to lol
@@BCDriven so sensitive he was!
Quit blaming your problems on Ford. You bought the truck, just shut up and use the truck for what it was built for.
Eye eye captn'
@@BCDriven What a calm cool and collective answer to a quite ignorant statement ? It makes absolutely no sense, although I suppose you could blame GM or Dodge ? But it an apparent issue with many FORD owners and they are responsible. As far as I am concerned, I dint hear you whining and the info saved me the time and money of going to the dealer and being raped. Thank You.
@@johnqcitizen4743 I learned that arguing on the internet is rather pointless and it help if you just answer everything positively and move along. You look at any video even ones I receive negative comments on I just thank them for watching and nove on. Also thank you for checking the video out and leaving a comment.
Probably would use some thread sealer or blue loctite 🤷👍
