Stupid leak, stupid question
Hi there
I'm going to ask about this, not even thinking about looking like a looser :)
Honestly, I don't know crap about engines or cars in general, I try to learn when I can, mostly when something goes bad, but don't focus on this like lots of you guys do and it shows that you can really learn if you put dedication.
Enough brownie points ? :)
For real, I noticed a few oil spots in my driveway coming from my 2004 Edge, I changed the oil last week, so probably the screw got loose or something, but went under the truck and took this pictures so you can help me.
Oil level is fine, and tranny fluid is ok too ....
Is also using a lot of coolant and there's no leaks, is not overheating either, and I know these issues are probably not related to each other
any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I'd get a can of brake clean and spray off the cam syncho first. Its located right behind the intake. Make sure if thats your leak or not before you start buying parts. If it turns out to be the rear main, I wouldnt recommend doing it yourself. Its a whole lot more involved than changing your oil, but if you know someone knowledgeable w/ tools, its definately doable in a weekend. Just know what your getting yourself into. Theres nothing wrong w/ running like that. You may want to buy a drip pan for the driveway and keep an eye on your oil level though. Id actually be more worried about the coolant problem, it has to be going somewhere... Check your plugs to make sure your not burning it. Whats your drive train, btw? A 2wd with a 5 spd is cake to work on.
