this would apply to any gen explorer. turning the vehicle off after running, is the fuel gauge supposed to drop to empty? i know some vehicles do and some don't. the reason I ask is when i turn my 92 xlt off the fuel drops about 1/4 tank overnight so with a full tank I'm reading 3/4 tank untill...

92 xlt auto 4x4, 171k mi. So I go out to start up and notice a 6-8" puddle of fluid under the passenger side. Oh oh, is my weekend pre planned with a gasket job? I take a closer look and sure enough the frame rail on the passenger side is soaked from front axle to rear axle. I check the puddle...
