I've got major issues.
1994 Explorer, 4x4 auto trans.
I drive maybe 1,000 miles a month, more or less. So 90 day oil changes. Last one was back at the end of Nov.
I've used 2 qt's of oil since than, have driven no more than 2,600 miles. I have a noticeable sounds like a fan belt squeak coming from my flywheel. I didn't think much about it for awhile until oil started to disappear.
The oil is dripping from between the engine and trans through the seal. Flywheel squeaks rather loudly at times, even going 60 up the highway.
I believe it to be one of the rear freeze plugs. I cannot find any information here or elsewhere about the how to replace these, how much they cost, or how long it will take.
Can you guys help a fellow out?
Also, on a side note. Plates are good till June, Insurance till September. I also have less than $100 to my name.
I have no way of tearing into this anytime soon, to cold to do it outside, and pulling the engine or dropping the trans is in no way a one man quick fix.
