I have an oil/tranny leak. I am 100% positive it is not the oil filter housing. I replaced every component of it, checked multiple times to see if it stop leaking (it did). Now I have a new leak. The upper block is completely dry. The only part of the engine that is oily is the oil pan and transmission. My two questions are: 1) Is it possible to remove the oil pan from the under side of the car? It looks like Bentley manual says yes it is. Are there any things I should watch out for? Length of procedure? 2) What would cause a leak where the tranny meets the engine? I have never touched that area since I've owned the car. And yes it is ATF fluid on the tranny, not motor oil. __________________ Last edited by adamud; 06-13-2011 at 04:09 AM.

Pretty common for what you're describing. Replace a lot of those at Ford. | | | 06-13-2011, 04:18 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | Use the nastiest sealer possible when you put it back on, I use 3M trim adhesive on the block side and Permatex on the oil pan side when I do them. Basically the pan is glued on and the bolts line it up The front pump seal on a automatic transmission is a common fail at age or high mileage. You can our a pint of ATF seal conditioner in to keep it under control for a while. But once they start its usually a downhill slide. A tired torque converter can make it worse as well. Good Luck!

I had to replace that on my Ford truck quite a few years back __________________ | | | 06-14-2011, 05:41 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: San Diego Posts: 231 | Mine was a cracked oil pan (at the drain plug) thanks to the ham-handed oil change guy at Valvoline. | | | 06-15-2011, 07:27 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | When I have to use a oil change place, I stop outside and make the guy come out, then I ask to see their torque wrench for the oil pan bolt and ask what they are torquing it to. My jeep has all heavy synthetics in the gear boxes and I have to threaten them with death if they touch any drain plug but the motor... Its just not worth it to me to have them do it...
