FOCA Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sorry to hear about your problem, it must be very annoying on a £7499 car! My initial thoughts are its the sump gasket/ seal, and the "cracks" are just marks/ part of the casting process, these are just opinions and i am more knowlegeable about Mondeo engines, I would insist that it gets seen to, nothing worse than oil dripping onto the drive, know it looks very bad, but its often only when the oil level drops too low that it is a really serious problem, i would keep an eye on the oil level, just in case (and the other fluid levels, sometimes, it looks like an engine oil leak and it is actually something else, like, eg, the power steering) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this was a few years ago now, but i am experiencing this problem, i have stripped and refitted my sump properly as i thought this problem was my sump, turns out it isn't as its still leaking, it seems to be coming from above the sump and above the air conditioning pump, i am just wondering if you ever found the problem causing this leak? Hope to hear from you as soon as possible, thanks in advance, Dean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
