Has anyone had issues with an SROD 4 speed manual transmission leaking oil from the top of the trans? I'm guessing there's a vent where it's coming out, it's a LOT of oil leaking while driving.. Drips on exhaust and smokes. I need to top off the oil every 200-300 miles. 1982 GT. Thanks, Hutch...

Hey guys the reason why its a mystery is cause I havent looked into it at all. Put long tube headers on my V6 and noticed some oil on the passenger side, never noticed anything coming out of my exhaust so I was never too concerned. I assumed it was a valve cover gasket and was getting around to...

I am looking for some thoughts about the source of an oil leak on my 86 street/drag hatchback with a 351W. The engine is setup a little loose with ring gaps of .027", .018" and .030" top to bottom, since I race it. Two piece rear mail seal, FelPro one piece oil pan gasket and metal oil rails...

Hello everyone, So, I recently decided that it was time to fix the oil leak on my car that had been there since I bought it last year. I was told by a mechanic that the valve covers were leaking and that I needed to replace the gaskets on both sides. After replacing the valve cover gaskets, and...

I've been trying to diagnose my 2000 GT Vert leak for quite awhile. I replaced the oil filter gasket and that fixed the huge leak in the front, I have a very small power steering leak, but so far it has stopped leaking at the reservoir after I replaced the oil filter gasket This leak goes all...

Hi all and thanks for any help or advice i may get. I have a 2003 gt with a 4.6 sohc engine. It all started with a pin hole that I found in my radiator (how it got there is beyond me) I didn't have the money to fix it right away but I needed to use the car for work so I added water every day to...

The reason I replaced my valve cover gaskets was because my oil was leaking into my spark plug well and it caused my car to have a really hard idle and misfire. After switching the gaskets, sparkplugs, and wires the leak stopped and my car has been driving better than ever. I'm not responsible...

I've recently purchased an 87 5.0 GT and while driving it around I noticed the stock oil pressure gauge fluctuates from the bare minimum line of normal to about the 2nd and 3rd lines. But once warmed up it stays around the bare minimum line of normal just above the red 0 line. I have read that...

Hello, I live in Ontario Canada and I've owned the first generation of LX/GT 5.0L mustangs in the 90's, but have owned Japanese cars for a long while now. I also own a sports motorcycle which I plan on selling, which is the main reason why I want to get back into a Mustang to feel that thrill...

My mechanic is going overseas for a while and my 05 4.6L has an oil leak. Looks to be around the oil filter area, I can see oil accumulation on the oil filter and it's primarily on the left side. Can someone point me to a thread that will point to a fix? Thanks for all replies and help.

Hello Everyone I'm new here and have read a number of the posts about oil leaking from around the filter where it meets the block. I have a 1973 Mustang Convertible 351C V2 with 75,000 miles. I got the car 4 years ago and until the most recent oil change I have not had a problem with oil...

Changed my plugs today on my 99 cobra. 134,xxx miles. 5 of 8 had oil on the hex and the threads (probably from unscrewing it). It was a good amount too, enough to drip. The three cylinders closest to the firewall on the passenger side however did not have any oil on them. Any ideas? could it...

My 1999 Cobra has started leaking oil and a preliminary trace has led me to the area of the oil cooler adapter. If I were to hazard a guess, it looks like the oil pressure sending unit might be the culprit; however, it's also possible it's coming from the "port" located directly below the...

I am having to add a quart of oil to my car at least once a month and keep getting coolent leaks as soon as I fix one I find another. At first I thought it was because the car had sat in the Vegas heat for a long time not running but now that I have been getting this check oil lit once a month...

Hi. I have a 1966 inline 6 that is leaking a lot of oil. Haven't climbed under the car yet to look around. Any ideas where it's coming from? It's in the front of the car. The car runs great...no smoke from the tailpipe. Also, the engine was rebuilt back in 1998 but not driven much since. Right...

I have an oil leak in a 1990 Mustang GT with a 5.0 in it. Is it possible that this leak is coming from near the cam shaft, this is where I am finding the majority of the oil.

Hows it going, been on other sites before, but this is definitely the most informing one. First question, I have an oil leak in a 1990 Mustang GT with a 5.0 in it. Is it possible that this leak is coming from near the cam shaft, this is where I am finding the majority of the oil.

I know that I need to drain the coolant and oil and take the 3 bolts out and there is a seal I know, but I hear the I need O-Rings too? Anyone knows?

I have a 68 mustang with a 289 automatic. Just got everything running and made it driveable. Now the problem is i noticed regular engine oil dripping out between the end of the block and the front of the transmission where it connects. I didnt notice until today that whether its on or off there...
