Does 94 7.3 idi have a high pressure oil Lin and where is it located
Are you sure it's the oil cooler leaking, for one?
Make sure it's not dripping down from the valve cover gasket.
If it is the oil cooler, it's not as bad as it could be - turns out, all you need to do to remove it is get the steering shaft out of the way. There's one bolt where it connects to the steering box - remove that, push up on the shaft and the bottom end should come free. Tie it up and out of the way.
It should be able to be removed now, though you might need or want to remove more stuff(like the PS pump) for clearance.
Getting the cooler apart might be a challenge - once it's apart, it's not a big deal to clean everything and reinstall new O-rings.
Putting it back together should be done with a ratchet-strap; just wrap it around the whole thing and keep putting tension on it until it goes back together.
Also, remember, an IDI has no "high pressure" oil anything. It's all "low pressure"(<50 psi).
