1998 ford windstar oil in air intake

Start by looking at the PCV valve. They only cost a couple of bucks and they're very easy to replace, it's worth picking one up next time you go buy windshield washer fluid or whatever, and just replace it pre-emptively.

Also check for vacuum leaks.

Never thought of the PCV valve but it makes a lot of sense thanks for the reply. Sorry, I was just wondering how do you check for vacuum leaks?

Thanks

Humm. look for the jiffy boob sticker on the door jam........ ;)

Carl, I'm sorry that I'm not going to be much help with your concerns.... but I hope that the advice I offer will help you in future purchases....

You have just bought a used vehicle.. apparently without the assistance of professional help... and you didn't even check the oil before handing over the money?

When purchasing a used vehicle it is wise to involve a third party... someone impartial and with a good knowledge. All too often I have seen somone spending $100 or even more to have a vehicle inspected resulting in massive savings when the car of their dreams turns out to be a tank...
