Who stripped the spark plug putting it in |

Who stripped the spark plug putting it in we are hoping this is THE problem but who knows... it was apparently like that before i got the car a few months ago... we think when i went camping that helped jiggle the spark plug out (off roads). i haven't changed them since i got the car. i will eventually but they are working fine for now and i have to also fix my oil leak... which dad says could be anywhere cuz of the amount of oil under my car..... |

Have someone steam clean or pressure was the engine top to bottom & in a couple of days you will be able to see exactly where the oil leak is coming from. Let me know how you made out & if you have any questions feel free to ask me.

If it's a Ford V8, they had a real problem with that. They did have a TSB (Tech service bullatin) on it. Go to your local car dealer and see if they will print you the repair info from that bullatin. If you have a slow oil leak, you can add engine dye to the oil, let it run, and check it with a blacklight. (I was a Ford SErvice Mgr) Good luck....
