The closest person to you is Don in Federal Way, but otherwise I have no clue where to suggest. Me might when he's back around to reply.

There are only so many places you can "blow" oil from. Oil Filter or timing cover/balancer seal are both up front, oil pressure sender in the rear behind the fuel pump. The fuel pump gasket, valve cover, or pan may leak, but it's usually localized to these perimeter locations.

If it's an automagic transmission, you may also have a transmission fluid coolant line running forward to the radiator, which might be loose or failing.

Maybe get a can of GUNK ENGINE DEGREASER to clean up the motor and then maybe you can save a ton o'money and see where it's leaking and repair it yourself? They are super easy to repair - mostly.

David, any chance you are from El Paso?

I do live in Federal Way, but I can't specifically recommend a mechanic, although I'm sure there are plenty out there. I assume you are probably aware of how much mechanics typically have to charge up here?

Even if money is no object, I'd listen really hard to the guys on this forum first. Two things are in your favor here...1, these engines are among the simplest engines ever made and 2, few people know more about them than the people on this forum. Looks like this isn't your daily driver and figuring this stuff out yourself can be a lot of fun too. If you have a chance to browse through my thread "saving granddad's falcon" and a few others before that, you can see how far I've gone with the help of this club. Like Roger said, there are only a few places oil will come from. They are all pretty easy to get to.

That really is a nice looking falcon...what engine have you got in there?

Yes, I am from El Paso--why do you ask?

The engine is the 170 straight six and it is pretty simple; it's mostly due to time constraints that I was trying to find someone to take a look at it.

But I'll take a look at your thread & see if I feel more motivated to look into it myself.

Thanks!
