I am getting the rear valve cover gasket replaced but they say most of the oil seepage is from the oil pan gasket. -----SOLD------ 1995 SE Midnight Red V6 ATX /////Alpine CDA-7876 Pioneer 6x8 3ways all around Removed all badging and door guards Infinity Perfect 12" powered by RF 360a2 Sittin' Lower Konis and H&Rs ---BOUGHT---- Another Ford but I am not saying what!

Unfortunately, my rig also was found to have a leaky timing chain cover as well - which the dealer said was a bigleague PIA to service. I decided to go with the "Cardboard on Garage Floor" method. I am hoping to get 2 more years out of my rig :rolleyes: Still debating the oil pan change - doing it myself. Need to get the car up and assess just how difficult those two knuckle-buster bolts are to get access to. FORD = Fill Oil Reservoir Daily Regards, Jab. Learning about cars from my Contour 95 LX - PLEASE do NOT BREATHE on my wiring harness! I can't afford a new one!

(Not dealer prices) I'm not sure how hard it would be for the install. The 40 for a gasket was enough for me to "take my time" doing the job. Any one done the fix themselves? 1998 Contour 2.5 Non-SVT (ATX) SHO Y-Pipe K&N Drop-in
