help! leaking 95 taurus 3.0 vulcan timing cover
... leaking coolant.
Cant find my 95 cd manual
went to autozone instructions.
Says:
Drain and remove oil pan.
Go to 'oil pan', implies it can be done by dropping starter, exhaust and
insp cover for trans.
Is that right? Thought the engine had to be lifted clear of cradle or etc.

Note:
Found in google of this group that some say dont have to drop pan.
Not an option in my case, as I also have had an oil leak for some time in
the same area.. may actually be in the pan to timing cover seal

Pull the starter and the Y-Pipe, the pan will drop right out after that.

Yeah.. that was a dumb post. Made the same mistake 'a rookie' would.
Didnt see the tree for the forest.
BTW: PB BLASTER is great stuff... and I would have tried it except for prev
comments on here.
I'll do a PBP review in the next few days.
