I assume you have a powersmoke ??
My 7.3 was doing the same thing. turned out to be the commen fuel leak (o rings) & the HPOP lines were leaking a little.
Both easy fixes.
The 7.3's almost never leak @ the rear seal from what I have been told.

Well if you're replacing the trans in the Dodge I have 2 suggestions... A little bit of money now will help it last a lot longer, and it'll feel like a whole new truck. Start off by calling Dave Goerend of Goerend Transmission. He knows everything about these transmissions, and is IMO the best builder out there.
Here's what I would suggest: Goerend Valve Body, for either street or tow performance (whichever you do most), $400
And the next thing would be a Single Disk Billet Torque Converter, about $600, I'd go with 89% efficiency for both street/towing performance.
The P-Strokes are known for rear main seal failures, just one of those things you have to plan for sooner or later. Its about a 10hr job to do it yourself if you're doing it for the first time... The second time its about 6-7, depending on how much you drink...

No it's a 460 gas engine, I wish it was a 7.3
I took it to a guy who knows about the dodge tranny and the upgrades. i told him not to put the stock junk back in it. He said that he never rebuilds one with stock parts, i don't know what he uses but he has never ripped me off. He knows about the upgrades and other things to make it better. I don't have a clue what to do to it, all i know is i need the truck. i have used him for several jobs and all has worked out good. After he finishes the dodge he will probably get the ford.Well if you're replacing the trans in the Dodge I have 2 suggestions...

I love my power stroke f 350 crew cab with 311.000 miles. it runs like new. now I know it has a lota miles and will need tlc but I just put a chip in it and redid the trans. man that thing get up and goes down the road!!!! 
Well i got the dodge back today and it shifts so much smoother than it ever has. Don't know all that he did but it is better than it was when it was new. Something about using five star or something instead of four. Think he was talking about planetary gears. I don't know a thing about a tranny so you guys probably know what he's talkin about. I'm happy with it so far, just hope it holds up.

Glad to hear it it should hold up he has a warranty?
Yeah not much of one though. One year or 12.000 miles. But i guess that's good for a rebuilt tranny.

It is enough that if something were not done correct it likely would show up should be ok how hard do ya work it?
Not too bad when i'm cuttin it gets loaded down, It's always got something in the bed but usually nothing really heavy like your equipment. Mostly loaded with lawn care stuff.
This ought to get it stirred up again.
