• Oil leaks:
• High-pressure oil fittings and seals
• Turbo pedestal
• Oil cooler
• Front oil pump cover
• Oil pan/rear main seal.

Drivability issues:

• Misfire
• Loss of power can be caused by damage to the turbocharger
• Sticking injectors
• Under valve cover harness
• Injector driver module/IDM
• Fuel and oil quality 

Cooling system concerns

• Coolant leaks 

• Fuel in the cooling system from failed injector cups.

• Oil in the cooling system from a failed oil cooler

Hard to start when cold

• Sticking fuel injectors, bad glow plugs, and glow plug relays are common issues if your 7.3 has issues starting cold.
• If a vehicle has low compression/blowby/uneven cranking this will also affect the ability to start when cold.
