leak

Hi, A couple of months ago my wife got home from work and complained about smelling coolant coming from her 2004 Ford Explorer XLS (with the base 4.0 SOHC). I went outside to check and found a very large puddle (pool?) of coolant on the ground. Looking around I found a pretty big leak coming...

I've done a search and seen that a few of you have tackled this issue before. I just purchased the truck last week but I'm moving to PA in a few weeks and took it in for an oil change, tire rotation and to get a basic inspection. They came back with a couple of minor things and that there's...

I finally got my 1994 Exploder running good and driving good,with the exception of the standard 62ish mph vibration we all love to hate. Well coming back from the lake, towing a my 16' old bass boat (about 1000 lbs) it does great. I get ready to back it into the back yard and I notice I am...

I purchase a 2011 Limited 4WD Explorer in July. I was recently on vacation this past weekend and encountered a lot of rain. When my 8 year old sat in the 3rd row and buckled the seatbelt, water started streaming down the webbing and I also noticed water on the speaker grill. This has happened...

Hey guys, so I have a 2006 Explorer 4.0 and lately it has been idling around 1700 rpm after a cold start. The revs go back down after driving for a little bit, but the car still idles rough. Also whenever the engine is revved and is going back to idle you can hear a slight popping noise. It is...

Hey everyone, I have a 2000 Explorer Sport with the OHV engine. For the past year or so, I've had a coolant leak but I could never identify where it was. I finally found the spot, and I took a picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/638/20110426132935.jpg/ The leak is coming from...

Iv'e been having a small leak from the tranny oil cooler at the front of the truck ('06 V6 xlt). The leak appears on both fittings coming out of the oil cooler attached to the bottom of the radiator. I think it's coming from where the fluid line goes into the fitting, and not from where the...

Hey guys, I read often but don't post too much, but I need to today! On my way to school this morning, my temp gauge went past the 75% mark, and my heat went away. This has happened to me before, I have been loosing coolant at a steady rate (nothing serious) and had forgot to top it off that...

I recently had a freeze plug pop. At first, I thought it was the water pump, but then was confused when I saw that coolant was leaking above and to the side of the water pump. What could it be? After some help from the kind folks on this forum and overhearing a Ford mechanic mention it, I...

Well, fresh from replacing my fuel pump, fuel relay, EEC relay, and my ECU, my Explorer actually started and ran for the first time in about a year and a half! BUT... After rejoicing and letting it purr for about 2-3 minutes while I moved my Fusion from behind it, there had been a fuel leak...

Alright this ex seems to leak everywhere I have gotten all of them fixed except one. The Rear hatch seems to leak when we get anything over a light rain. I first noticed it a month ago and just thought I didn't get it clased all the way. But last week when I took it to the car wash I noticed it...
