Hello all,
About a month ago, I was given a 88 ranger. It has a 2.9 v6. I had to take out the old 5 speed because it was busted and put in a new one off an explorer and has been working super. My question is, the truck is leaking oil horribly. Every time I drive, there is a circle 6 inches to a foot wide of oil. Obviously it could be many gaskets that could be the cause, but which would be the most likely? It burns oil slightly, and smokes kinda bad. The guy who gave it to me just replaced the main rear seal, so that can be crossed out. Any advice would be awesome.
