My son has a 2000 Ranger, V-6, 4.0L 4wd. It is leaking oil & when I took it to the dealership on Monday they said it was the Rear Main Seal & Oil Pan that are leaking. Wanting a second opinion I took it to an independent shop with a outstanding reputation this morning. They said it wasn't the rear main and pan. They said that it was coming from somewhere high up on the backside of the engine. Above where the intake manifold bolts to the block, but couldn't see the actual leak due to the way the engine is mounted. The plenum is in the way. My question is this - what is your best guess as to what could be leaking oil high up on the backside of the engine? I don't know a great amount about auto mechanics, but I am not dumb either. I just don't know the different parts that may be back there that have to do with the oil system.
