dammit Lee, every time I click on one of your links it fries my cookies for this site. Now none of the threads I've read are marked as read. Last time I had to delete all my cookies, log out and wait till morning before coming back to the site. Grrrr!
Add the 'www' to your link! You just have 'http://f150online.......' instead of 'http://www.f150online....'

valve cover or rear main seal

gets on the tranny by the wind of driving

keep an eye on your oil level anyway

The link worked, but it showed me as not being logged in. That screwed up my cookies set for this site. Once again I had to log out, clear cookies and wait a half hour before logging back in. Now everything is working for me again.

Steve has this site mirrored, 'http://www.f150online' and 'http://f150online'. You use one and I use the other. When I click on your link, it fries my cookies for this site. I was making you aware of it. That's all.

stop leaks generally do not work. what they do is soften and swell the seals. I think you may have a head gasket leaking. you can either let it be or spend the cash and have it replaced.
But first you need to find exactly where the leak is.
