Oil Spray

I have oil spraying under the hood. I'm not sure where it's coming from or what's causing it. The car still starts and the oil pressure is good, but oil is every where under the hood. Any ideas or suggestions?

Me too. On my 93 Ranger. It looks as though "fluid" has spayed upwards on the driver side of the engine because I've got a wet spot on the underside of the hood in that area near the left front wheel well. Hoefully some one has some ideas - they usually do!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-Oct-02 AT 04:29 PM (EST)]Do you guys have PWR. Steer.? If so, have you checked level and hoses? Can you detect any smell?

Oil Spray

The power steering cap will pop off and leak if the engine is not running and you attempt to move the wheel left or right. ALWAYS check it if you move the steering while not running. On the other hand, the PCV valve is in that area. The lower hose has a tendency to pop off it and that is why you should put a hose clamp on it. Or, the PCV could be bad...pressurizing the motor and causing oil to spray out somewhere.
