Consumer Description

MAJOR OIL LEAK COMING MOST LIKELY COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE LEFT HEAD WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE BLOCK OR IN THAT VICINITY. I NOTICED A LITTLE OIL THE WEEK PREVIOUS ON THE DRIVE WAY BUT WAS NOT TO CONCERNED AS I HAD JUST CHANGED OIL. YESTERDAY, BEFORE LEAVING TO CHRISTMAS SHOP I FUELED UP AND CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS ABOUT 2 QTS. LOW SO ADDED OIL. THIS MORNING 12/19/99 I NOTICED A LARGE QUAINTLY OF OIL UNDER THE TRUCK SO I AGAIN CHECKED THE OIL. WHILE DRIVING THE DAY BEFORE THE ENGINE HAD LOST ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF OIL IN APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES OF DRIVING. DURING THIS DRIVE I NOTICED NO CHANGE IN OIL PRESSURE OR ANY OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE HOPEFULLY THE GAUGES ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY. THERE WAS SO MUCH OIL UNDER THE TRUCK THAT IT HAD SATURATED THE LEFT REAR BREAK CALIPER AND THE ENTIRE UNDER BODY OF THE VEHICLE. I PLAN ON TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER MONDAY MORNING.
