hey fellas,
As I was going to fix my rear main seal this week, ive come across a bit of a problem, Ive got to drive to qld from sydney on monday, Do ya's think that it will be alright? It doesnt leak too bad, What can happen? It just gets a bit smelly when its hot as the oil leaks on the cat.. cheers, rob |

How much oil is it leaking?
I'd say you will be alright driving it, if its not leaking too much & you keep an eye on the oil level & pressure if you've got a gauge installed

Yeah you should be alrite mate, just keep on checking the oil level and if you loose oil pressure just let the car chill for a while.
I would suggest you fix it thou, i fixed mine it cost me just under $500 to fix its a fair bit for a s**t little $30 part to be replaced but i also installed a speedy sleeve to go over the crankshaft as this will pretty much stop it from leaking for a few years at least. Even with it fixed thou my oil pressure still doesnt stay over the 1/2 way mark on the oil pressure gauge.  It tends to hover around half way a fair bit.

Yeah when you really start to hear the engine tick thats wehn you gotta check it to c if theres plenty of oil in her. Soft ticking isnt too bad, most fords do tick a little bit.
