1998 Ford Explorer Owner Comments

problem #1

Dec 022008

Explorer ES 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Wife drove in driveway complaining of smoke and a burnt smell coming from the engine. After a few minutes of looking she turned on the engine and oil poured out of a 1" hole approx. 3"-4" under the Oil Fill cap on the right hand side of the engine. Has this happened before to anyone? Is it from a lack of oil in the engine? Do i need the whole engine replaced? How much would this cost to fix??
