It depends on where the leak is coming from, first step is to identefy the source, second is to find a solution to fix the problem. now if the leak is comming from the head then there are several things you can do one is cheak the head itself if it is craked than you need a new head, if it is leaking from the base at witch the head meets the block than you need a head gasket. If you are leaking from the block than you need a new motor, and so on and so on, but to finalize this awnser there are different products you can use to help temporarly, but ultimitely you need to find the leak and repair accordingly. excuse the mispelled words!!
If it is A four cylinder the top gasket on the engine cover leaks sometimes. If this is true it is an easy repair and the part is not expensive. I have done 2 engines like this an Escape and a Fusion. The second one took me 1.5 hrs.
Bad seal or loose drain plug.
A 2001 Ford escape differential leak is usually caused by a bad seal. Replace the differential seal. The new seal should stop the oil leak.
2004 fORD eSCAPE USING LOTS OF OIL, 3 QUARTS IN 2 WEEKS, MECHANIC SAYS TIMING CHAIN WORK NEEDED HELP
These are common for oil pan gaskets, if the oil level is a quart low it most likely isn't high enough to leak out the gasket
I would first change the pcv valve.Its cheap[ and would cause oil to leak in alot of places because of crank case pressure.
can exhaust manifold leak cause you to burn oil
Where is the location of the oil filter on a 2003 Ford Escape.
engine oil leak
No
There are several posibilities. It is common for the oil pan gasket to leak on that vehicle. you need to pinpoint where yhe source of the leak is. If it is wet at the top end then it is likely the valve cover gaskets.
Sounds like a possible oil pan gasket leak, also check around the oil filter and make sure that it seated properly when it was installed.
Depends on the severity of the leak. If it is a weep, a proprietory leak sealer could offer a cure until you can get it to the shop. A significant leak should be repaired straight away.
