Do this, park it in the garage, and turn the lights off. Get on the side of the car (where the 5.O badge is) and look between the motor and the firewall with a flashlight to see where its leaking from. I find using this method pretty good for being able to see where the oil dripping on my bellhousing is comeing from. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>PurpleNotch</b> <br /><small>Member # 2902</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,5,10,1,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Shade- Tree is probably right .another thing it could be is the rear main seal usually the shops when they build the motor say they cant garantee no leaks because of the castings or maybe the rear main oil pan seal section is leaking. jack it up and wipe it all and then run it with the car in air then see if you can see the leak or follow the leak trail . good luck bro. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
