I was out for a drive today and lost my oil pressure and oil somewhere along the 37 mile drive. Fortunately I'm running a dry sump system so I had enough oil in the system to get home without burning up the bearings "I think"???
I'm running a 1700 crossflow motor.
Biggest question, where do I start when I'm looking for the main oil leak, there is oil every where on the right side of the motor. I did a quick check of the block and it isn't cracked, I checked the coolant and it's clean, no visible oil spots.
Should I do a full rebuild, with gaskets and bearings or will gaskets be enough once I find the leak?
Or depending on the cost for part, should I pull and sell the motor and replace it with a Zetec?
Thanks,
