Has anyone experienced engine oil leaks? Rear main seals or oil gallery plugs behind flywheel could be leaking.

MH, a friend had an F250 and his oil pump had some problems from day one. Apparently there were some imperfections that allowed the oil to seep back into the sump, especially when parked on an uphill slope.
The engine would not start if the sensors could not sense oil being pumped to all the important places. He eventually had the oil pump replaced, which entailed lifting the body off the engine.
Sold it after that and bought a 200 Series.

Good news. Son (who had borrowed F250) has fixed the leak which he found in an oil line.

It was as simple as tightening up a connection - once he found it. Very difficult to get to.
