Mstg007 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I have had my convertible sitting in the garage for the past few weeks. I noticed a few drops of oil and alittle coolant to the side of the oil. Dumb question is there a sealant I can add to the engine to keep it from leaking?

Schurkey Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 How about actually diagnosing and then FIXING the leaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 New gaskets dude, there are no short cuts. You`ll have to find out where its coming from and go from there. Many places oil and coolant can seep out of a 3.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil pump drive O-ring 4. Oil pressure sending unit. 5. ??? COOLANT LEAK 1. Intake gaskets 2. Upper-to-lower intake manifold O-ring 3. Heater hose quick-coupler near thermostat 4. ???

This one is directed to the OP, but if you have a leak, trace it! Don't just look at the puddle, look at the pathline. Leaks usually leave a pathline from where they came from. My lower intake manifold leak did this. I traced it back to the rear bank lower intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
