I just changed the oil pan gasket on my 1998 Lincoln Navigator. It still leaks oil when running. The leak looks like it's coming from the top of the front 2nd bolt on the passenger side of the oil pan. What could it be? Oil sensor or what else if not the sensor. Thanks, Ted

You might want check and see if the valve cover gasket on that side is leaking and making its way down there. It could also be coming from the rear of the intake manifold. You are going to need an inspection mirror and a flash light to see every where.

Is there a certain type of gasket or something else when there is a oil leak starting in a 1998 pontiac firefly

clean around the oil pan gasket area well as some oil leaks are actually rocker cover gasket and filter leaks that run down the block and appear as pan leaks.. Check front crankshaft seal as the oil from there also appears as a pan leak

I am buying a 1998 Toyota Prado today and I have been told by two mechanics two different stories regarding an oil leak, how can I check and diagnose the oil leak myself?

Only thing you can do is look for it. If its on the top or sidesof the engine it shouldnt be to hard to tell where its coming from. Most likely valve cover gaskets. If its on the bottom of the engine its most likely the oil pan gasket. Some vehicles when doing an oil change because of the oil filter location, oil will drip for awhile and make it look like it has a leak when it really doesnt. I would check teh valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket and make sure your oil filter and plug are tight.

I have a 1998 Saturn. The reservoir often leaks water/antifreeze and light comes on to indicate. I have had water pump as well as reservoir replaced. Doesn't leak everday but still leaks. WHat is this?...

you need to find that leak, is the leak visible? if its not from radiator or the reservoir, the only other place I could think you can lose water is the head gasket. It happens to high miles and hard driver. 100k miles would likely be a head gasket. Leaking head gasket will also cause the engine temperature to rise and run super hot. antifreeze will leak through the head gasket down to your oil pan mixing oil and water. Check your oil by pulling the dip stick and see if you have oil mix with water; it will have a slimy looking colors, oil is light color and it should never be black. if it black than change your oil and inspect it afterward when the car has been running for while. when engine really hot cause the heat to effect the starter not to engage or start or engine is too hot to run. repairing head gasket could run anywere from 500-800 bucks.
