Make sure it is the turbo that is actually leaking the oil. I have had the little o-ring below the pedestal go causing oil to puddle up seemingly from no where at the back of the engine, and I thought it was the turbo. I have also had the HPOP go, and cause an oil leak that looked like the turbo. I like the 7.3's and the 6.0's, they just cost way more $$$/hp then anybody else.

there are a few diesel shops around that area. pfi speed might even be able to help him out. the 6.0l who wants to tear into their truck after they buy it for reliability, there are a lot of small things that go wrong with them too. i'd take a 12 valve cummins anyday

They're both piles of trash. The 6.0's major problem is that it has the worst OEM turbo this side of any non-industrial MHI POS.
7.3's leak and they're old and old engines leak anyway. Have the turbo rebuilt. Atleast he doesn't have a 6.0. He'd be shelling out $1200 for a new turbo every other year if he actually uses that truck.

a mustang fastback with a 460 has more room to work on in there.
