'93 XLT
So I've had this 1993 Ford Explorer XLT for a while now, it's in fantastic shape, but there's a freaking drop of oil coming down from around the oil pan, maybe a little to the front directly in the middle between the tires in the front. It leaks about one drop every night so it's no worry for me, but it's kind of irritating...anyone have any quick/easy fixes? I've duct taped it. Also, the car leaks a bit of antifreeze not from the radiator but from the tank, however when the tank is full and it is cold outside the car blows out antifreeze at night.

Interior-wise, the headliner fabric is torn severely in a bunch of different places. Also, the driver side door panel pretty much needs to be replaced. Can a car upholstery shop fix both of these problems? Or is it something EASY I can do?

Thanks for your help.

Fantastic shape????
If you only have one drop at night of oil, I wouldn't worry much, however, you can try cleaning motor and look for the location. Your bigger issue is the loss of coolant. First would be to get a tank (resevoir) from junk yard and check your radiator cap (pressure test)
