Hi,

I have the car listed above with a 3.0 duratec engine that has a leak. At first i thought the leak was coming from valve covers or engine oil pans which were actually leaking from worn out gaskets so i changed them and did an engine detailing. The next day i noticed it was still leaking. Checked out valve and oil pan gaskets and was clean around the area. I did notice the was oil running down from above the oil pan. Does anyone know where it might be coming from and how i can fix it myself?

Thank you,
Rob

Good evening,

There are so many possibilities fr the oil leak.

Can you post a picture of what you see? Is it from the front, middle or rear of the engine?

Sorry for the late reply. It is from the front half ways from top and bottom engine not from block and heads meet. though it is a little late and dark right now. as well as my car is too low to even put my hand under and from the top the exhaust manifold is in the way. but I'll take a picture in the morning and post it.
