Oil leak near oil filter

Billy77 · Jan 31, 2023

I attached a link from the video with the current oil leak. I went through other threads but I wasn't sure if it's the same.

Hope someone can point out where it might come from.

Thanks,

common problem with that set up
you can get o rings to repair it or just get a water neck with oil filter screw on at a junk yard its only 4 bolts holding it on .

Can also be the adapter to block gasket.

That's what I also started to wonder when I checked the manual.

Very common issue on all Ford 4.6 motors, oil cooler or not. If you rebuild the cooler, or remove it to replace the gasket it's a 2 for 1 job. Make sure you get the kit that does ALL the o rings in the cooler if you retain it.
