Sudden Oil Failure - 6/1/2005 2:16:23 AM    H8 MI FORD   Posts: 3 Score: 0 Joined: 6/1/2005 Status: offline My 92s oil gauge dropped to empty on the freeway and after pulling into a gas station at my house to pick up more oil, I noticed a thick trail leading back on the freeway and ending under the car where it was heamorraging oil in a steady stream, I had to limp home and put something under it to catch the remains. Any quick ideas as to problem and fix? Is this a usual problem with the Explorer.... P.S I have recently replaced the head gaskets and the fuel pump Post #: 1

I know that for a few years Ford was having problems with seals on their oil pans, but I think I think that was their late model diesels. what engine do you have in your explorer? _____________________________ I hear Chevy people say that they would rather push a Chevy than drive a Ford. When I think about it, this is the best reason to get a Chevy. It's like a private gym!!! (in reply to H8 MI FORD) Post #: 2
