So Humble, my Bronco II, decides to cut loose on the first cold snap (1 Degree F/-10 Degrees Below zero Windchill) Puking oil as fast as I can pour it in. But from where?
[EDIT: 2.9L V6 199K Miles]
I thought the rear main went but it's not... Being so cold and not having a garage currently the little bit of troubleshooting leads me to believe it is not the RM. I can see fresh oil down the back of the trans bell-housing. It leaks down from the top part of the motor and pools on the trans cross member - thus making it appear to be a RM seal leak.
>My Question is this: I replaced the upper and lower intake gaskets in Sept. I had the distributor shaft out a few times - Could this Dist O-Ring be the culprit? Could it leak that much from there?
>Also When I did the U/L intakes I reused the valve covers - I had replaced them last winter. (Duh, I probably answered my own question here) But the Felpro rubber gaskets I thought were reusable? If not, why would it have been okay since Sept?
Sorry so long winded - just trying to be as thorough as possible.

BTW I just got my "BroncoIICorral" Stickers and was going to put em on but too much oil on back window
