Ford powa Member 111 Member For: 16y 9m 26d Gender: Male Location: North West Aus Posted 12/10/08 02:47 AM Share Posted 12/10/08 02:47 AM alright my problem is when I drive my car for a while and park it up LOTS of red oil is leaking under the car coming off the exhaust and is burning the tin heat sheild. been like this for a week till I looked how bad it was last night. is this diff oil or transmission oil. its a 4sp auto too. I dont wanna drive it incase I make it worse but tommorow ill drop it of at the local Ford dealer.only just got my car back 4 weeks ago from when the trans totaly went and cost $$$$ bit also notice when driving the car slowing down for a corner or roundabout it revs quite high up to 3 and a half thousand rpm and then backs off. I dont know if this is part a problem with the trans but it a pain when u driving normally and next second its high reving and for no reason.....Hope some one can help give me ideas what I can do cheers Tommo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50600-problem-oil-leaking-under-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
