Leaky joint *photo ID please

Postby Smokedog » Wed Oct 09, 2024 5:38 pm

Hi looking for a bit advice on how to go about fixing this diesel leak coming out at the top of nut where the pipe is held..been gradually getting worse the last while and staining gearbox etc now, does anyone know if there is a ford o ring or other part necessary that may be needing replaced before I take it apart?


Thanks in advance

you dont point at what your talking about there are lots of tubes, nuts and pipes in picture

in the picture, at side of dipstick tube, Is the vacuum pump with a pile of oil, not diesel on top of it, if it's that you are talking about.

Sorry - I've absolutely no knowledge of these.

They are on ebay, also separate listings for "push rod tappet"and separate seal kit

or the push rod plus the vacuum pump

whether your push rod tappet seal has failed or the whole pump ..i have no idea clueless

so up to someone else to answer this post.
