My oil pressure dropped all the way down i was 20 miles away i drove it home i checked oil no oil i replaced oil and filter started the truck then looked under the oil was leaking from oil filter houseing i changed gasket no more oil leaking but valves clattering only on passenger side what to do next
Drive it as is, or put a couple thousand into the fix
You ran it out of oil,find out why
The damage is done to any number of places in the motor,
your lucky you can still use it
Don't spend money on a 13 year old vehicle & a 4.6
Drive it as long as you can,find out where the oil went
Testimonial: "do you think the oil is not getting to the passenger side lifters because of a stop up"
SOURCE: oil plug came out didn't realize no oil pressure t
the oil is there to cool and lubricate the crank ( bottom end) and the cam shaft and valves (top end) the most likely out come is that you have (cooked) the engine, check to see if when you try to start dose the engine turn? if it dose then it could be the oil temp switch will need to be replaced. if the engine DOSENT turn then you have most probably welded the pistons to the block. seized the crank shaft or warped the head (head gasket) i hope this helps
SOURCE: leaks oil ,changed oil pressure switch, still
this is possiable, the best thing to do is have the engine cleaned of all residual oil and then drive the car a few ays and recheck the leak, it will be easier to see the source of the leak that way, on oil leaks i hate to guess, oil gets blown everywhere by road draft so it come from up front and be all over the side of the engine
SOURCE: Yesterday morning, car at NOT,
Try taking off the gas cap and putting it on again. My car did the same and that was the problem.
SOURCE: 1990 ford tempo AWD oil leaking on the passenger side..not sure what it is.
Check the oil pressure sending unit, it may be leaking.
SOURCE: I am embarrassed to say that I am an owner of a 98
Sounds like its either a cracked engine block or a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head.
