leak

A family member had noticed that it looked wet in a specifc part of my engine while we were taking a look and refilling the coolant. I had noticed something similar a while back, but I was foolish and thought it was just rain. I think that was a mistake :P I use 50/50 coolant and the level...

Just failed PA inspection due to an exhaust leak at the exhaust flange between the extension pipe and the end of the catalytic converter. The inspection place recommended two flange repair kits bolted together and a new gasket to hold the pipes together. What should I know about this process...

I recently had my power steering go out on my 2000 Ford Explorer Limited Edition 5.0 It all a sudden stopped working and I can see where the leak is coming from. Can I just replace the one line that is leaking or do I need a whole new pump. Also will it hurt the vehicle to drive it w/o PS...

My muffler rusted out on my way to work, and when I went to wire it up I got dripped on by something. I got home and went to leave again, and notices a HUGE puddle of tranny fluid from the underneath of the passenger side. I watched the fluid pour (small stream) out of the pipe thing... Idk what...

So on my way into to work this morning, I heard a pop under the good followed by what at first sounded like something was caught on a tire. The nose would slow or speed up with my speed. No check engine light came on, no loss of power. I pulled into a gas station and realised the noise is...

Hey there! First off, let me start by saying that I am so proud of where ExplorerForum has come! The website looks great, and the community is bigger, better, and more active than ever! Let's begin... For a long time now, I have had an oil leak. I would put 2 quarts of 5W-30 in, and about 3...

Hello everyone. My 2006 explorer 4.6 v8 has a ticking sound coming from the engine. Im currently deployed and trying to help my wife pin point the spot. Im not 100% sure if its a lifter, exhaust leak or what it could be. I know it has gotten louder over the past 3 months and i think the sound...

Hi all, I was helping someone learn how to drive today and I guess they turned the wheel to lock and held it there for too long. Now when I turn the wheel, the wheel shakes (not the car), there is a noticeable whining and surging noise only when steering, and there is also power steering fluid...

Hi all, This is on a 2003 Explorer XLT 4.0L V6 Turned my air on on the first really hot day (85F+) left it run and was warm. So I charged it up, worked great, then on the second day after that it was running warm again. It runs somewhat cool when the temperature outside is cool, but I'm...

Hey everyone, I've had a small coolant leak for about a month now. It doesn't leak on the driveway but I can see it running down the side of the engine on the passenger side. It leaks right below the alternator. The shop that I usually go to says that there's a plastic elbow that's leaking. They...

There is a coolant leak that mainly seems to be spouting from what looks like some sort of distributor right above the water pump. It isn't a steady leak though. There are times when the vehicle is idling and there may be a drip here and there but after just a little bit of driving the coolant...

When I start my truck (96 explorer xlt with the 4.0) it leaks oil like crazy. I went to tighten the oil filter and it was tight but the filter and the bracket that it gets screwed onto moved. It seems like the bolt that hold the bracket on might be loose? Mind you it's 6 degrees out and with the...

Howdy, I have a lot of coolant consumption. I have to fill up my overflow tank every month with fresh 50/50 because it just disappears. Surprisingly enough, I NEVER overheat. I drove 4 hours a couple weeks ago to this restaurant I wanted to take the old lady to and the truck ran great...

So I have 3 leaks, power steering, coolant, and oil, all of which seem to be hidden, but the lack of fluids start to show every month or two and I just top them off. The oil is the most concerning to me. Once the oil starts getting low, I get ticks/clicking/weird sounds and questionable...

Okay so I had a coolant flush about 2 months ago, admittedly I am not sure what type of antifreeze is standard for an 04 explorer but it had green in it and they replaced it with orange. However, for the last 3 weeks or so, even though they flushed it and filled it with orange antifreeze, only...

Howdy, everybody. This is my first post so I hope it'll be as helpful as everything else has been that I've read on this site. I have a '97 5.0 XLT Explorer. I've recently come to find that my rear hatch window is leaking from the top around the rubber seal. Living where I do, rain is a certain...

First off I know I probably shouldn't be taking my 2004 Ford Explorer to jiffy lube for a transmission flush. I usually do my own work if it's simple but since these are closed systems I didn't have the equipment to do it. Anyway a couple weeks after I had his done I noticed a bad transmission...

Hey there Explorer community, i'm in a conundrum and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I drive a 2004 Ford Explorer 4wd 4.0L Vin K 64,000 Miles, and I know explorers sometimes get a bad wrap but for the most part I love this car. This car has always leaked a few drops of...

I can do things to make my car stall at demand! For example, if I turn on the engine, switch into gear, and then press on the knob to deactivate AC (with climate control all the way on HOT), the car will stall almost always. I also noticed it stalled a few times pressing on the brakes...

Hey guys! My stock PS Pressure Line was spraying fluid all over the place... so naturally, I got a new one and replaced it. The new one has been working fine for about a week now... but it just developed another leak! Luckily, this leak isn't from a tear in the rubber hose... it's actually...

Can the extension housing on the M5OD be removed with the tranny still in the truck or will it cause issues with the reverse gear components? Mine is leaking very bad and its a pain to add fluid every couple weeks. I don't really want to pull the whole tranny unless I'm doing a clutch and slave...

So I just purchased a 99 ford explorer I was aware of the broken radiator and I know it pisses our coolant but also the motor has a slight knock in it ? Could thetwo be related or do I have a bigger problem on my hands Its 99 explorer 5.0 v8 xlt

2002 Explorer: Transmission "Cup" Loose and Resultant Leak I've had my Explorer parked most of the year and I start it up periodically and take it for a little run. Yesterday, when I ran it I noticed that a stream of coffee-coloured fluid was streaming swiftly at the rear of the motor. It...

Hey everyone I am looking for some input on what I should do about my wifes 2014 Explorer XLT with only 5k miles is leaking oil. First, I took it in for its first oil change with no signs of burning oil smell or leaking anything in my garage and to my surprise the dealer I bought the car...

Hay explorer forums. I've got a 95' 4.0 OHV Explorer with a small leak that appears to be coming from the oil filter mount (not the filter). I've done some research and have even found another topic to reference. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233462 What I need to...

Hi friends! My 99' EB X is leaking tansmission oil :( Do I need to take off the tranny to fix that? :eek: It has the V8 with almost 200k miles on it. Also I think rear axle is leaking because it is too moist but, I can't see any drop or anything Please this is driving me crazy! I will...

Ever since I've had my 1997 explorer, I've had issues with adding radiator fluid. After I flushed it and added new fluid, I noticed that the reservoir was soon empty after a day or so. I first thought that I maybe didn't put enough fluid in but I figured out that it started to leak at the...

Hello All. New to the form here, been a lurker for awhile. I have a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer Base w/ 4.0. About 138,x.. miles on it. Crawled under it preparing to do an oil change and noticed that I have an <<oil leak>> EDIT: ATF Leak. Did not get a good look the first time. Not to...

Hey forum new member here. I'm a 22 yr old from TX. I just bought my first Ford today. A 2007 Ford Explorer with the V6 80,000 miles. After the 20 mile drive home I noticed some dripping under the car. I began prodding around the engine closer and saw a puddle dead center of the intake...

Hi All- Im a new member to the forum and wanted to first say HI! I have a 1994 Explorer with 175,000 miles on it. About a week ago I was reversing my truck off of a steep incline. After, i was out I parked it and returned about an hour later. As I started to drive I noticed that 1st gear...

I was pumping gas today, and for the second time in a matter of months, I noticed that when I clicked the pump to get the last drops, all of a sudden i hear liquid hitting the ground. I looked at the filling hole and nothing. I then looked under my car, only to see where gas had come out and...

So I've gone quite a few places and can't seem to fix my explorer. Not looking for a miracle, but though I'd share it's history with you guys and see what happens! One day out of nowhere, my '93 XLT started revving from about 500-1500 over and over again on its own. Only time it would stop is...

I noticed at the beginning of the week that my garage smelled like gas. I had my husband look under my Explorer and discovered that it was leaking fuel on the passenger side under the back door. It is currently at the dealership and they have "ordered a part" that seems to be on backorder. I...

Hey everyone thanks for taking the time to read this post. My X is leaking coolant once again. First it was the radiator and one of the hoses, they were replaced along with the thermostat about a month ago. A new leak started a few days ago, it seems to be coming from the drivers side, right...

Bought my new 2013 Ford Explorer Limited in January 2013. I know the car is not broken in but every since I've received it, no matter how it was driven it gave me 14.2 mpg. Now it is April 2013 and I am starting to smell fuel leaking somewhere. I've taken it to the local ford dealership and...

Thanks for reading this, my Ohv X is leaking coolant pretty bad right now. I've had this problem for about 8 months now but never this bad. Whenever I turn the truck off it dumps coolant, it doesn't overheat though, the temperature gauge stays halfway. I always thought I just had to get air out...

Hi I'm max I'm new here. I have an 02' explorer XLT 4.6L that I purchased from a lady almost a year ago. I bought it with a bad coolant leak. I had that fixed there was a crack in the intake manifold (very common). I purchased the new IM at o'rileys and haven't had any problems with my explorer...

I have a 1992 Ford Explorer 4x4 and last night I smelled this burning odor, it stopped maybe five minutes after I parked. Later that night my truck gave out while I was reversing, I pushed it back into the driveway, put some oil in it and it worked. Once I turned the engine on.. the truck would...

I may be crazy but I seem to be feeling hot air blowing on my feet while I'm driving but I font have any heat or air on at all. Just seeing if anyone else has this problem.

I seem to have purchased a very odd Sport Trac... Opened my driver door after two days of rain and had a river run out from my door sill :fire: Traced the leak origin to someplace under the dash (roughly straight back from the top of the dash fuse box to give you an idea of location). It's been...
