- 2010 Sport Trac XLT
Hello out there,
I love my 2010 Sport Trac XLT 4.0 with 173,000 miles on it.
I am getting an oil leak that someone said it probably was a rear main engine seal.
After some research I learned that a clogged PCV valve might cause oil leaks.
So, I am reaching out to my fellow Explorer and Sport Trac'ers to get better informed and less confused.
If the oil leak is due to the PCV valve, this is the one the Ford Parts specify for my vehicle (Motorcraft PCV Valve - EV261), could someone reply with how to replace it correctly. And how often should this part be replaced?
If the oil leak is due to the main rear seal, does Bar's Leaks Rear Main Seal Repair work?
And if the seal repair does not work, what does it take to remove and replace the main rear seal, what should also be replaced at the same time, and if possible give me a ballpark cost to get it done?
Thank you for your time and help,
Murph
