Oil pan leak? 1998 F-150 XLT 8 cylinder 4.6
Although the truck had been sitting for a full year since the last professional oil change, I decided to replace the oil filer on my truck. So naturally, this means I must first drain the oil myself. No big deal, as I used to do it on my old vehicle.
For safety reasons, I opted to use ramps instead of a jack and jackstands. Sadly, a hurricane pushed a lot of rain into our area, and the ramps sunk into the ground a bit. Giving me less room to work
Long story short (too late, I know) I drained the oil, replaced the plug and started to clean off the old oil filter for removal. That's when I noticed there was wet oil all along the edge of the oil pan. Including far up and away from the filter itself. I did not see this before because the lighting was not ideal and my focus was elsewhere.
What do you think? Has the oil pan gasket gone bad? Did the mechanics that change my oil last year do a terrible job? The removed oil does not look bad at all. Even without the truck being started for a week, it flows fine and is still somewhat translucent. I'll have to take a closer look and talk to a pro first. But I'm thinking of filtering the oil and putting it back in the truck.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.👇
Considering I'm out of work; any purchases from my humble Etsy store would go a long way.
