    Oil pan leak

    I've got an '87 Cougar with the 5.0L that about 8 months ago I blew the tranny on. At that point I figured since I was pulling the motor out to take the tranny into the shop I would also fix the oil leaks that were coming from the valve cover gaskets, and the oil pan gasket. I also decided to...
