Vacuum pump leaking oil?

[Fordfan90]

Hey guys my 7.3idi started leaking oil from the vacuum pump. What is a good pump to get for it?

I went through a few parts store vacuum pumps and ended up using an oem one of an old engine.

So the oem would be the best?

After market stuff will always be hit or miss. I replaced my worn out vacuum pump with Dorman 904-808 and it has been working very well for a long time now.

Had a dorman in mine and seemed to work well. Never had any problems with it.

I'll look into the dorman one tomorrow. Is there any certain pulled I need for this?

Before you put it on, make sure there is oil in it.......

this! i always pop mine apart(new or used) and give it a squirt of 80-90 before installing it.
