Best Answer

A small amount of oil on the air filter is normal. It comes from the pcv valve up to the air cleaner box. This is to prevent the oil from being blown out into the atmosphere without being buned first. (It's an emmissions thing) If you arent using tons of oil and the car is running ok dont worry with it. (I assume your town car has a 5.0 liter engine) Please let me know if you have any more questions. Justin justin25taylor@Yahoo.com

My moms 1991 Lumina LS 3100 v6 engine is overheating within 10 block every time she starts the car It is leaking water not coolant and the thermostat was just replaced Any suggestions?

3.1L V6 are famous for bad intake manifold gaskets that are made of plastic. See if you can find the source of the leak and how bad. Too much leaking could cause overheating problems. A bad water pump will also cause problems. btw, I blew my engine by not getting the intake manifold gasket repaired in a timely fashion. IF you have the money I would get it changed to avoid problems down the road.
