In about 8 hours, I’ll look like this. The Ranger is bleeding. She had the tiniest oil leak for a long time; unnoticeable to the untrained eye. Not so much anymore. In the last few days, it’s been bad. The clutch was replaced a few years ago, so the rear seal should be good. None of the other most likely culprits seem like jobs we have tools for, especially the oil pan gasket. This could suck.

Add a little brake fluid to the oil, about a tablespoon. It’ll swell the seals and possibly stop the leak.

Nope. Don't plan on having to tear it completely down after. Would like to keep driving this thing until the frame snaps.
