Lee, I forgot about the air filter, and the coolant change, I was too involved in making the poor thing run better. I will tell her when ever I see her again. Thanks. It probably hasnt been changed like it should be either. Im glad I can help turn around the life of a mistreated Contour!

jborge-if its coming from under the valve cover, I would replace the gasket. However I am not an expert on this. I dont know if you change the oil yourself or not, but some oil change places are not very neat when they do it. I have had to clean mine a few times after getting it home.
BTW, anyone know how hard it is to change the valve cover gasket?? I have VCT, and I dont wanna mess up the "thing" coming out of the top of the valve cover.
