Oil getting sprayed everywhere
So I crawled under my car today and noticed that the front and bottom of my engine (and surrounding components) is getting sprayed with a **** ton of oil. Seems like the pulleys are slinging it around from somewhere. The blower feed/drain at the blower end seem to be dry. The other ends are wet but I can't tell which one, if any, is where the oil is coming from. The crappy drain hose from vortech is my first choice. I wasn't sure if anyone had any input on other possible culprets.

My 97 4 valve was spraying oil out of the bottom end; it turned out to be bad o-rings in the oil cooler assy. Do the 4.6 SOHC engines have an oil cooler, where the oil filter attaches (and coolant from the radiator also flows through?) Check for that - 40.00 for a new o-ring kit and mine is as dry as a bone now...

Now that you say that, IDK if its an oil cooler or not. But my filter attaches to it and I can remove it from the block. I am pretty sure it had coolant ports running through it.

i think ford calls it the oil filter stand off?
