The Mark pan is unique to the Mark. I do not sell them. You can call 5 Star Ford, Max will match or beat ANY price in the Country!

What do you mean the oil pan let go, what's wrong with it? I've never heard of an oil pan failing in a 98.

its leaking like a syve i epoxied it and it still leaks its coming right through the pan. i have heard about 200 hundred stories of this happening and various ways of fixing it but i feel that the best by far is to replace it already.
and i would consider a leak of about 1/2 a quart a day a pretty big failure of a unit.
