I have a 2000 Town Car with a 4.6 v8.. COP just like my Modular V10..

I have a pretty major issue. I took it apart today to change the plugs out. There was no oil spots on the drive way but a minor miss has manifested and with 130k on the clock I figured it was time to change the plugs. It has consumed about 1 quart of oil every 3000 miles which is normal per the documentation I have read from ford..

Well, the motor isn't consuming oil, its leaking oil on top of the motor

Here is what I pulled out of the spark plug well



Here is a shot of the spark plug well itself



The Tube coming off of the PCV valve on the drivers side had some oil in it..

Could it be as simple as a bad PCV valve?

Is this a bad intake manifold?

Blown Head Gasket?

Help.

 

At that mileage, I would replace the PCV valve for sure. There may be some seepage from the valve cover gasket into the plug pocket.

 

Thank you so much!

I am going to replace the PCV valve and see if that resolves the issue.

New plugs, new coil boots.. and a new oil leak

Hopefully I can get it fixed soon

Thanks!
