- 94 explorer
I have just got an explorer from my parents, their old daily driver, sat years with broken hood latch cable...
so i put a battery in it and was crankin on it, it wasnt firing caus it wasnt getting gas, rusted line or somethin, visibly pouring out in the back by the drivers side.
then notice that in just the cranking i was doing till i noticed the gas smell and found the pouring, there was a good sized pool of oil under it, and i could see it dripping a few drips a second... i havnt looked further where it was comin from as it was gettin dark and startin to sprinkle.
does anyone have any suggestions of where i should first look for the source of dripping? if the motor isnt horribly destroyed, i'll go to the trouble of replacing the fuel line. if i replace it, is there any reason i couldnt use a bigger line? i figure it'd be less strain on the fuel pump that way.
explorer is a 94, 4.0 auto 4wd 4 doors. if theres anything else that'll help the troubleshooting let me know, ill be able to look at it more when the suns up today, long as i dont pass out before then. thanks everyone.
