Oil leak
I'm looking under the Bronco and I see load of oil under there. I'm not super low on oil but I do need to put in a quart every couple of months. Now from the looks of things it may be the oil pan but I'm also noticing oil higer up on the block. Is it possible that a leak from the pan can splash oil around that much?

check the oil pressure sender...drivers side just above the oil filter. It's a common leak area...since it's under pressure, and with the fan blowing air all around, oil can splatter everywhere. Anyone that has had a leaking oild sender can verify this!
But check the valve covers too...and then work your way down.

Well it looks like it's going to be a pain to track this leack down. I swapped out the starter today and noticed that there's oil dripping by the tranny too. The valve covers are showing some oil too. How hard is is to change out gaskets? Or is this a job better done by someone else?
As for the oil sender, is that an easy fix?
