For some time, my 93 GT was leaking oil where the transmission meets the oil pan. Smoke (oil) would blow up through the center console where the stick shift is, when i floor the gas pedal or when the engine is under load.
I recently got around to addressing this issue and made an appointment with my mechanic to get the oil pan gasket and/or rear seal replaced.
A few days prior to my appointment, i decided to flush the radiator and pour in some fresh coolant.
Since then, my Mustang no longer blows smoke and it appears that i no longer have an oil leak! The oil pan is just little moist but nowhere near enough to leak oil. Thinking that the (blown?) oil pan gasket or rear seal shifted in a way to seal the leak, I did a number of WOT runs and smoke no longer blows up through the center console.
What might have happened?
