I'm officially fordless
I got rid of the 2.3T mustang last year (it went to a friend of mine, so I still get the privilege of working on it). I've still be rocking the 98 V6 as a daily driver. My wife went to take it to work today and she comes in and says the car makes a funny noise when its running, it sounds like the belt is flopping around. So I tell her to take my truck and I'll look into the car. After I wake up, I go out expecting to see a shredded belt, instead I see a HUGE pool of oil under the car, and big chunks of oil pan on the ground.
The car has had leaky intake gaskets for years, but its a slow leak so I just keep an eye on the water level. I guess yesterday the gasket finally let loose and filled the cylinder with water over night and my wife tried to compress the water when she tried to start it up. We all know how well water compresses.
So does anyone need any parts from a 98 V6 auto white with brown interior? Its going to the scrap yard soon. Parts will be free if you pull them off.
