 My ford 150 was purchased with the 504 liter engine and although it is a 1997 model has only 19000 miles on it. the problem is an engine oil leak that has been roughly diagnosed as the mail seals both front and rear. i have spent $300.00 to replace the front seal and the rear seal has been quoted to me as another $600.00. i feel ford should step up to the plate and fix this problem for me as i doubt mine is the only occurance of this type.
