2002 4.6is Texas car
Hey all, So I've been at this for days. Jumping back and forth from my garage to the PC...endlessly searching. Several week ago now I noticed that the stiffening plate was sripping oil. I removed the plate to find oil all over the place. Drain plug, frame, etc. Most of it looked like it was on the passenger side of the car. So here's what I did: 1) replaced the oil seperator valve and hoses Washed everything. Still leaking. 2) It looked like most of the oil was coming from the lower dipstick seal. Replaced it (not an easy task at all btw). Still leaking but not as much. Now I have no idea where the oil is coming from but did notice that it looks like it's gathering somewhere above the upper oil pan and dripping down the front on both the left and right side then dispersing throughout. The car runs pretty much normal btw. At this point I'm thinking valve cover gaskets since they've been mentioned a lot in previous posts. I've removed the plastic covers and noticed some oil in the spark plug area but only by the last two plugs on the drivers side. With this you would think the leak would be in the back right? Where I'm confused is that it looks more like front passenger side. Anyone ever experience something similar? Maybe where the oil lines go into the block? Front timing cover? Do I just need to overhaul the thing already? Thanks everyone!! ![]()
