1998 ford 4.6 engine has a bad oil leak at the oil filter gasket. labor time 1.2hrs. tools used was a oil filter wrench, flat head screwdriver, 10mm. video shows the rest of detail.
Love that it's not edited to give an accurate idea of how long it will take in my own driveway! Also helps us understand how you tackle the little things like the electrical connections and getting around those refrigerant lines 👌
Damn another awesome video I have a 97 with a bad oil pan leak I thought it was the adapter gasket and bought one but never did it and I'm glad because it's on the right side of pan that's leaking but a job I haven't got courage to do!!
you should have drained the coolant before taking that off, the oil passage is lower than the coolant passage. so when you loosed it the coolant goes right in the oil passage.
I'm so glad there's a video out for this. I gotta 2000 MGM and i think that's where my oil leak is coming from as well. At least that's what I'm hoping for cause lord knows i need my baby to keep on pushin lol
Thought I had a blown head gasket on my 98 GT but I only have oil in my coolant but no coolant in my oil. Oil in the motor and pan is clean but radiator is MILK. I’m about to replace the Adapter gasket since oil and coolant flow right next to each-other causing them to mix when the gasket fails.
Had a 95 and 98 and 01 and 03 total garbage cars got rid of them. And finally bought a Toyota Camry ... I have a 190000 miles on my camary and only changed the battery and the brakes..and tires . So far
@@partsshooter nah, I'm sold on how you did it--- I would have done it the same way. It makes a mess either way, even when you drain it from the plugs.. but if you look (0:01), You can see that little allen plug just below the oil filter, pointing down. I don't know if it drains oil or coolant-- but it might have helped.... Once everything is done draining, I always pull the oil bucket out of there--- because I drop something in it every time if I don't. lol
@@calholli good observation, honestly I didn't I think of that, seriously! I was just eager to knock that oil leak out and see the gasket. I honestly need to be more observant lol
I need help! Plz! I just did this on my 1998 mustang GT. It has the oil cooler. I took the oil cooler off first and then the adapter plate and replaced the gasket. When I went and started my car, EVERY BIT of oil that I had just put in the car and was in the oil pan started pouring out from underneath the car around the area I was working. And I mean POURING out. Like all 6 quarts
One more question bro! Does the 1998 model year have the oil cooler? A lot of people are saying that 98’ was the odd year for the 4.6 because it has the oil cooler even if it’s not a cobra. Is that true?
@@partsshooter Thank you. but you now, if there is a line in the place of the oil filter adapter, there is a line that crosses with the coolant hose? is it that I see a little bit of oil leakage and the coolant is going down? In your video I see that when you remove the adapter, coolant comes out.
@danielrochaclavijo5092 I understand, I thought you were referring to the adapter being attached and leaking internally, that why I stated under right circumstances but overall unlikely. The little that mix is negligible and is nothing to concern about. Not worth the mental space honestly. I mean, you're talking about less than 1% contamination
