It is contaminated with fuel. Change the oil and filter immediately. Take the vehicle to a professional and have them find out why you have fuel in your crankcase. Can be a leaking injector, faulty fuel pressure regulator, misfiring plug, or overly rich fuel/air mixture.

Mine is very hard to get at, I am thinking of taking the blower motor off so I can get at it better. Anyway, I would guess it would be right by the blower motor...:)


Can a 1995 Ford Explorer motor be replaced with a 1991?

I'm not a mechanic / technician but from what I have read there are ( 3 ) different engine blocks for the Ford 4.0 liter Over Head Valve , V6 engine ( 1991 to 1994 Ford Explorer ) ( 1995 and 1996 Ford Explorer ) ( 1997 to 2000 Ford Explorer ) * so I would say the answer is ( no )


Why would your car defroster smell like burning rubber?

Defrost uses the a/c, if it doesn't smell the same with a/c only on. The smell is coming from the blower motor. Bmw's for example have a problem where the blower blade contacts the plastic housing and causes it to rub/melt.

Why would the pool filter smell like it is burning?

The impeller is either clogged with something, your filter is clogged or your pump motor has a defect. The pump is working very hard so it heats up. You said you vacuumed? My bet is on the clogged filter! Well, the filter, the large tank, would never have aburnt smell. Ya gotta be talkin' about the pump motor. Turn off the motor, get down and sniff towards the back side of the motor being careful not to put your hand on the motor as it may be hot to the touch. If the motor smells like burning wires then the motor may be getting ready to crash. How old is the motor? Did you empty the pump basket after vacuuming? A dirty filter usually will not cause the motor to burn.
