Can a Ford engine still have an oil leak?
The engine still had a leak. So after talking with as many Ford service dept managers that I could get on the phone in my area no one had a clue as to where it was coming from. I was hoping for a service bulletin that addressed the problem.
What happens if you have an oil leak under the hood?
Smoke Under the Hood – If oil is leaking from the right spot, it can leak onto the exhaust manifold (s) and it gets smokey. It’s not nearly as flammable as transmission fluid. All it usually does is smoke and stink. Fixing an oil leak means determining where it is coming from and repairing the issues.

Where does the oil leak go in a Ford 3.0?
Yet very few people are aware that the rear cam plug on this V6 has a propensity for leakage, as well. Bear in mind that this plug is situated directly above the rear main cap. So when it gives way, gravity takes over and causes the oil to flow downward toward the rear main cap and seal area, where it makes a swift exit from the engine.

How can I tell if my Ford engine is leaking oil?
Next step was to add the engine oil dye that Ford makes and after driving for a while started checking with a black light. At first it looked like maybe some oil was leaking around a head gasket. But after changing the oil again and adding more dye (and cleaning the engine off very, very well top to bottom) we are still not sure.
Can a 3.0 V6 engine have an oil leak?
Anything I can come up with are probably the “Yes, of course we already tried that” type of advice (i.e. the oil leak would be from the highest point that the ultraviolet dye shows residual oil) that will be of little help when you have already had mechanics check it up close. :blah:
