oil leak

Recently purchased a 2003 B300 V6 with 145,000 miles on it. I’m noticing a slight collection of oil happening on drivers side of oil pan and running down to the pan drain bolt/ rear main seal area. I inspected the oil filter and was able to give it a few small turns by hand to tighten it up so...

Gang, My son has a 2000 XLT 4.0 with 49,000 gentle miles. Just like our other 2000 4.0 the head gasket blew at 48K! I had the valves done and replaced the head gasket but now the truck is leaking oil that looks EXACTLY like it is coming from the rear main. At first I thought it was the...

I am new to the forum and new to working on vehicles. I bought a 91 ranger stx 4.0l with the idea that it would be a good truck to learn on. When I got it home I noticed it was leaking oil. Everyone is telling me it's probably valve er gaskets, oil pan gasket, and/or rear main seal. From what I...

So I got the sheared off water pump housing bolt out. Removed the idler pulley and hit it with PB blaster and a hammer every night for a few days. Said a prayer to the car gods and clamped on the vice grips, got it out. Put everything back together, new tensioners in, fired it up. No more...

I have a 93 xlt 4x4 ranger that leaks enough oil that I have to add a quart every month and a half. I am super busy with school right now so I havnt had time to really figure out were the leak is coming from. All I know is that its from the front area of engine. Any common places that usually...

Ok here is the problem I hope I can get some help on. I have a 1988 ranger with a 1990 mustang 2.3 in it (converted to run carburetor). It runs very well and has been a fun ongoing project for me and my father in law. After we did the engine swap the engine began to leak oil. We recently...

I have a 2002 Ranger XLT 3.0. I sunk it in a water hole and busted a rod. Make a long story short I pulled the motor had it fluxes heads checks and fixed crank checked. I rebuilt this motor with the help of a guy at the machine shop. Put it in leaked oil. Ok thought maybe bad seal or missed...

When I start my '85 up it has a small "tick" which gets worse when you give it gas, when idling after a few mins gets loud. There is oil slung all on the right side of my motor and on the air hoses, coolant hoses and everything in the vicinity, afraid to drive it was wondering if anybody could...

I've been driving my ranger around for a couple hundred miles now after I bought it about a month ago. I do check my fluids regularly and have noticed I've been using about a gallon of water every 100 miles. I looked my engine over and eventually found that my heater bypass hose was cracked at...

newbie / novice here. I have a 1989 bronco ii that has a pretty good oil leak on the front part of the engine. The vehicle sat for a long time when I bought it in Carlsbad NM. I drove it to houston around thanksgiving and it actually runs pretty good. Been reading up on the forums and have...

Hello all, About a month ago, I was given a 88 ranger. It has a 2.9 v6. I had to take out the old 5 speed because it was busted and put in a new one off an explorer and has been working super. My question is, the truck is leaking oil horribly. Every time I drive, there is a circle 6 inches to a...

89 bronco II 2.9 under 100k on the odometer. Okay so I knew I had some sort of leak in the tranny as I had to add to it some months ago. I could not track down the leak though. Here's the thing.. the bronco II does not leave any oil spots where I park at home.. none. So like 4 weeks ago I...
