Dipstick Adapter Repair Kit 7.3L 94-03 73DIPSTICK.COM
The leak at the dipstick flange is a well known issue with the 7.3 Powerstroke motor. The leak develops because the factory O-ring mounted inside the adapter swells over time due to exposure to oil. As the seal swells it actually deforms the inner piece of the adapter causing the outer nut to loosen. Some people will try tightening the nut to stop the leak and that can work temporarily, but it only deforms the inner piece more.
The factory repair for this leak is to remove the pan and replace the whole unit from the inside of the pan. This is a time consuming and expensive repair.
There are a few aftermarket options out there designed to repair this from the outside of the pan.
There is a weld in bung option, Requiring welding to dissimilar materials with pipe fitter skills.
There is a bolt on unit that requires dropping the internal part inside the pan and leaving it there loose.
Our kit reuses the internal part and moves the seal to the outside of the pan. Nothing left abandoned inside the pan and no welding.

Dipstick adapter
Do your prep work. Clean everything. Remove starter. Use a coat hanger and be patient. Watch Mitch Olsen on YouTube.

7.3 dipstick repair
Great solution for this common problem.
Easy install, took about an hour all said and done, haven’t leaked a drop of oil since!

Awesome solution, stressful install
Saved me a couple thousand in labor alone versus the mechanic's quote on oil pan repair... Worked the a charm.
Installation however is not for the unskilled & I would pay an extra $25 for a good tool to hold the dipstick adapter during the process. -
Awesome!

Works
I was a little skeptical about purchasing this because of the price but in the end I am glad I went through with it.
I have replaced the factory seal twice already and I feel this one will last. Not to mention the GREAT customer service from Mitch Olson after I screwed up the first time around.
