i'll trade you my 93 for it, all my 93 needs to be 100% roadworthy is a fuel pump, the car still runs and drives fine my wife drives it everyday, but when it gets down to a 1/4 tank or less it will randomly stall, it fires right back up everytime, fuel pressure test showed when it does this pressure drops to zero. i think the pump has been messed with previously and either the wrong one is in it, or it wasnt put back in correctly, but the car is driven daily, runs awesome, shifts awesome, coil spring converted, cold ac, hot heat, silver with black interior, entire front suspension is brand new, so are the brake rotors and pads front and rear, new rear shocks, brand new steering rack, chrome 10 spokes, newer tires, true lsc dual exhaust.
That's a great offer Jamie but I love the 2nd gens.
As for my leak - I came out after work and saw the new drips - there are 6 or 7 of them all arranged in like a clock circle position -
I'm guessing the seal around the oil pan went

Jamie,
how much for your mk?

It very well could be the pan but you need to determine for sure first. Go to the carwash and degrease it then start it and lay there with a flashlight till you see the exact location of leak. Just because it's a circle doesn't mean pan When you're driving and it's leaking it's blowing back and getting on everthing then you stop and it drips. Make sense. Find the exact location before you give up on it it could be a 13 dollar oil pressure switch.
Damnit man quit typing and start working.
Im dropping her off at Ford on Sat. for the recall - hopefully they do a full inspection and figure out my power drain, squeeky front end, and my oil leak.. then when they hand me an insane bill, I get to know how much i saved by buying a ratchet set at wal-mart and watching youtube repair videos
(I know a ton of you just put your face in your hand and shook when you read the ratchet comment... LOL)
well, you atleast got the correct tool in mind, some people think you loosen bolts with a home demo tool...
Ripped Camel?? LOLOL
so im bringing her tomorrow to the dealership for an estimate of what she needs overall - but I did manage to spot where the leak is coming from (I think)
There is some oil on the front end, right under the oil filter..
My guess is, when I nailed one of these fugging divider things on the highway, it came back up and hit the filter, and ruined the seal, or some assembly in that area. Other then that the rest was clear.. Now a leak here didnt explain how oil got all over the place and dripped in a circle, but its all I could find

My 98 just started leaving small spots on my driveway. So I'm interested to see what they diagnose your car with?
Oh and my cooler filter gasket wet the bed at my work so I had to replace it there. Took 2 and a half hours but that was also on a lift so

Ya I was gonna pick up a ratchet set and wrenchs, but so much argument over what is good and what isnt..
I mean, they are forged steel - how much can they differ??!?

i love snapon, craftsman, and husky, but im mainly a Kobalt tools guy (lowes), they have as good as a replacement policy as craftsman (and there alot closer to my house) and they are pritty stong tools (i read on the internet somewhere that snapon and kobalt are the same company, not sure how true this is). they have a huge selection of mechanics tools, and ya know that big kobalt toolbox at lowes with the radio and refridge in it, i got 2 of them. one for my standard sizes and one for my metric

Jamie's car is real nice. I've seen it in person.
As for the leak it looks very similar to one I had. It was my power steering pump. It cost me $79 for the part and $150 for the installation from a mustang shop in the area. Be prepared to pay closer to $200 in Miami for the install. You'll be out about $300 for the whole thing.
You may need other gaskets done as well. My car needed oil filter gasket adapter, oil pan, both valve covers and the steering pump and hose done to fix the leaking issues.
Honestly Jamie's car would be an excellent option for you because he is meticulous with his cars as others will chime in to agree. 93's are also the fastest of all the marks so that's another plus. The color on his car is rare, or at least is to me as I haven't seen that color much on 93's. Definitely a good buy!

It's the 10th picture down. It's silver. It's the picture right before the line up of all the marks in front of the water.
