OK that makes sense. Thanks again for the info. My mind is at ease knowing I shouldnt have any major problem. Now since Ill be in there I think Ill do the zodad mod and the mod to run that pvc? pipe to the rear end instead of into the turbo.

Thanks again....:c:

Yeah if you run out of enough oil it just wont start/run.

I have to say, this is a first for me, never seen one do that. Crazy.

The mod you're thinking of is the CCV mod (crank case vent).

Yeah thats it the CCV mod. So I dropped my daughter off at school wich is about 2 miles from the house. There was a large puddle of oil in the school parking lot. Wasnt positive if it wa from me yesterday or not. But I followed the trail all the way home this morning. So looks like I lost alot more then 2 or 3 quarts. Looked to be heavy enough of a leak to drop a couple gallons at the least.
Ill get that sensor out this week. ( got rent due which is EXPENSIVE here for a 2 bed 1 bath. $1680 month) So will have to wait till I get alittle extra cash for part and oil. But when I get it out Ill take some good pictures of it and have them posted in this thread so you all can see what happened.

That's quite a bit of oil to lose! Holy crap. Though, a little oil looks like a BIG mess on the ground too.

$1680 a month.... holy fawk. I pay $500 for a 3 bedroom house, with a detached garage haha, I'm on the opposite end of the expensive living spectrum. But I'm surrounded by white trash. Never felt so at home anywhere though... :w2:

Yeah $1680 and thats a 2 bed apartment with no garage or storage. Sucks. Up north where I used to live I could BUY 2 houses for that. Cheapest house around here would be about $550k for a 2 bed 2 bath with 1 car garage.
$500 a month dang havnt seen prices that cheap since I lived in AZ back in 95.


I thought the same thing about all the oil. A little could look like alot. But I had a big puddle in school parking lot and a big enough trail all the way home that it looked like I used a shop broom over some water. And at each stop sign / light there was a small puddle forming. Ill know for sure what I lost after I refill it.

replaced the Engine Oil Pressure switch today. It was what was leaking. There is a silicon seal on top where the ( White ) plastic part meets the bottom aluminum part. The seal broke. I asked the parts guy at Walnut Creek ford about it. He said he has sold a few of them but never asked what happened. He thought it was something to do with the electrical part of it. First time he heard of a seal going and someone loosing about 2 gals of oil. Got the part and 5 quart jug of oil for $51. Gotta go back and get some more oil..

BTW the Engine oil pressure switch PART# is 9278 ( SW-5267 ) Runs about $31. I got it for $25. And Toulsey Ford lists it at $20.
