i got a 02 gt and thre is oil around my pcv vavle i even replaced it wih a new one and it still is leaking is this normal its not a lot just some drops?? also some times thre is a knock/ticking sound tat usly gose away can this be from useing 93 super gas>>

 

[ACSPONY]

The pcv is known for sucking up some oil. Some people run a catch can so that the oil doesn't get into the intake. You can search on here for that.

Using a higher octane shouldn't cause ticking. As long as the sound goes away, I wouldn't worry too much. Something in the valvetrain may just be sticking and it goes away as the engine heats up.

thanks also i never had a v8 car before but is it normal to here a whinning nosie when u exslerat (its not blown)

 

[ACSPONY]

The wining is most likely the serpentine belt. As long as it's not squealing

 

[RandyStinchcomb]

check the hose going from the PCV valve to the plenum for hole(s) or cracks and did you get an oem Ford PCV valve? aftermarket ones do not work well on Fords.......

 

[4.6boy]

its a motorcraft one it didnt come with the elbow so i am just using some hose also were would i find that elbow??

 

[eliteJAE]

the wining could be the belt, could be your radio not grounded properly, OR when i removed my intake silencer it began to make a cool sucking/whining noise when accelerating

Why are you running 93 octane?

The GT was made for 87 octane. It will make the most power with it. Running 93 is only wasting your money.


Does the whine sound like it comes from the transmission or shifter area?

are you serious?????? i use 91, and afraid to use 87 cuz of knocking or power loss, but im guessing im wrong on this. is it really better to use 87? sorry for taking it off topic. i know it was designed to perform with 87, but mines got its miles on it and its had to be torn down before for head issues, i thought running 91 would compensate for some of the wear and tear.

Try a tank of 87 octane. If you get on it and expereince some detonation (pinging) then try for 89 octane and see if it does it there.

91 is just a waste of money. Our engines are low compression and do not have a power adder so there is no need for high octane.

that elbow could be the problem as they are prone to leaks, I'd get a whole new hose n' elbow from FoMoCo as it seems to-be a fairly common problem wth them cracking and leaking.....

Did you replace the rubber groumet around it? Mine was leaking from there. they do go bad after while

good to know moneys tight, and 3.40/gal. with 91 vs. 2.80/gal with 87 is gonna save me ALOT lol

i replaced the hose and now it doesnt leak any more. the whin is diffent come from the front of the car and is only in first gear. i use 91 casue its a cleaner fuel 87 sucks makes it sound like a diesel

 

[4.6boy]

also the trainy has a little dirip on the rear end side but the rear seal is good??

 

[Mustang5L5]

Then the rear seal is leaking

 

[4.6boy]

its not the rear seal casue its dry by the rear seal its just a drop right after the trainy grossmenber

 

[RandyStinchcomb]

its not the rear seal casue its dry by the rear seal its just a drop right after the trainy grossmenber

then its the trans output shaft seal, could be the beginings of something major if left un-checked.....

Transmission rear seal...not engine rear seal
