m looking at a used monterosport 01 awd 4x4.3.0 It has 126K miles.
Im concerned that the oil on the oil pan is not from the gasket of the pan,but may be from some seal in front of the pan (view hidden by an (approx 4 x4 inches)skid plate? .
Oil is all over it with a drop virtually hanging from most or all the bolts around the perimiter of the pan. In front of the pan I cannot see well as I didnt have it lifted and i was sandwiched too close & tight under the car without a flashlight.
Opinions of what it probably is? If its a seal then i can call around and find out what kind of cost on its repair before going any further with this otherwise nice enough MS. horn doesnt work,moon roof is missing the pull shade
