Anywhere I should be looking to fix an oil leak on a 96 Explorer V6, 4 liter?
Looking for where these engines might possibly commonly start leaking from.
Appears to be coming from somewhere on the driver's side of the block or oilpan seal, in the general area of the oil pressure sender. Could be front crank oil seal, could be oilpan seal. Thinking front crank oil seal, except the main amount of oil seems to be coming from above that level, off to the driver's side of the engine. About a dozen drop marks on garage floor over past couple months. Actually noticed since I did last oil change, however I don't think it's oil spillage from my oil change.
Can pressure build up and blow oil past seals? Seems if enough pressure to do that, it would just pop the oil dipstick up. Speaking of dipstick, can't see where it goes into engine block, but could it be leaking from there?
Looking for anyone with similar oil leak.
