My stang has 130,000 so I decided to do that seafoam engine treatment. Put the recommended amount in the gas tank, crankcase, and vacuum line, waited 15 mins before starting it up again and reving it to see all that white smoke come out! Well after a while of driving it around town I parked it on my driveway and when I came back a few hours later bam! Oil on my driveway!
My car use to leak oil but stopped once the holes got clogged with black gunk... I think that the seafoam removed all that gunk and opened up the holes again... I need advice on how I can stop that oil leak, any help would be appreciated

 

I would start with trying to pinpoint where it's coming from.Then go from there.

 

First you have to identify where the oil is leaking from. It could be as simple as replacing a valve cover gasket. I would not try to cure the leak with any stop leak type fixes. Especially if you simply have a bad gasket that can be replaced without any serious disassembly.

Take some time to find the source of the leak and then the group can be of help to you.
GOOD LUCK!!!

LOL Typing similar repsonses at the same time.

 

that sux, tryin to do right for the girl and that happens! Wish I could help ya but to new to the forum and still working through my own issues.

 

:/ looks like the leak is getting worse... And it's not from a valve cover or headgasket, Its all coming from under the engine and closest to the radiator... There's oil all over the steering rack and front of the k member

 

double gasket on oil filter?

 

Sounds like the timing cover/front crank seal or the front of the oil pan.

 

Yeah I think it's the timing cover or oil pan... I'll make sure tomorrow when I clean off all yhe gunk and look for the leak, how hard and expensive is it to replace the seals on the timing cover and oil pan?

 

I wish it was a double seal on the oil filter! I'll put up pics tomorrow of how bad it is

 

Just replace he timing gasket AND the oilnpan gasket IMO alot of times woth the oil pan gaskets on the mod motors once u remove the timing cover the old gasket will leak where it mates to the timing cover.Also u might as well change both valve cover seals to because the gap between the heads and he timing cover use a dab of rtv so i doesnt leak, which means valve covers need to be off to re dab it.
