I had the same issue with my 105K mile 96 F450 rollback.....it was leaking from the filter, changed it, took 4-5 trys to get it right and puke free.....find something to put under your truck! Check tightness first, then if it isn't the filter, then you are going to be needing more work.

This site is just outstanding.

I think I get 13 or so towing my challenger on the bed, haven't towed my 24 bandit yet with it. Up to 15 in normal driving.

If you don't have one yet, get the tech manual, I got mine off ebay on DVD+R for 30 bucks or so, it is quite helpful.

Good luck
