I have an 2002 F150 supercrew 4wd and today developed an oil leak. I don't know much about repairs. I was at a stop light and when it turned green I gunned it and pulled out. After I did this I started smelling smoke. I pulled in the driveway and smoke was boiling out and oil was leaking under the truck. I'm not sure what happened or where it's coming from. The oil pressure is still good. The oil is coming somewhere from the passenger side rear of the engine, and dripping down the area right behind the oil pan all in that vicinity there's a big black rubber hose I guess the oil line I'm not sure and a metal looking hose going into exhaust or catalytic converter. It's all in that area I washed it with water and wiped it down trying to locate it. I started truck again in park and it didn't leak. So I drove truck again and it was smoking and pouring oil again from the same spot. Any ideas or help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Your year F-150 is notorious for leaking oil from the rear passenger side head gasket, I'd check it if I were your!................

 

Would it just start all of the sudden like that? Is that the vicinity im talking about? Thank you!

 

The truck only hs 59k miles on it would that matter?

 

Take it to a mechanic before it gets worse and/or you cause some worse damage.
