having all the required tools and spares available, no more than an hour
it is located where the transmission is and is very easy to change. on a 2000 ford contour that is.
If your Ford Contour 2000 keeps leaking water and its anti-freeze, you will need to repair your head gasket.

really. SEarch it up. I think its 500.
I believe there is a recall on the filler neck. It corrodes and allows fuel to leak. Marty
There are several different ones. Low end is pan gasket for less than $100.00 High end is pump gasket for $500 to $1000.00
Sounds to me like you have a leaking head gasket. Take the car to a good mechanic and have him check it out.
Buy a Chiltons or Haynes service manual for a 98 ford contour. Same engine.
You can change the oil pan gasket in your 2000 Chevrolet S 10 pickup truck by removing the oil pan bolts. Once the bolts are removed the oil pan will come off. Remove the old oil pan gasket and replace it with a new gasket.
Valve cover gasket could be bad, oil pan gasket could be bad. Drain plug installed correctly? Here is a common one did you or the person you had do the oil change and double gasket the oil filter?
about 2000 if your lucky
My suggestion would be to spend about $20 on a Haynes or Chilton manual and they will walk you through it. Most part stores have them.
