Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2003 f250 diesel had so many oil leaking problems ford bought that truck back from me and gave me a 2004 f250 diesel. I've been having the same oil leak problems with this truck. Everyone i talk too, is aware of this problem that ford is having with these 6. 0 diesel engines. Why hasn't there been a recall? The engineer from international (they build this engine for ford) told the head mechanic at gulf breeze ford to put lock tight on the rear main seal of my 2003 truck to stop the oil leak. This seems strange to me, i thought lock tight was for bolts. I had the 2nd truck for a week and took it in and lock tight was placed on the rear main seal of this truck. It has leaked since. Was back in the shop for the 3rd time, got it back and it is still leaking. Another engineer from international is scheduled to look at my 2004 truck and 4 other problem trucks at gulf breeze ford on 1/24/2006. I think it is very sad, i love my truck- but i can't deal with the constant oil leaks. Only have 20k on my truck at this time. What happens when there is 100k plus miles on these trucks. Thanks. *nm

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
