[Shotimes] '93 SHO oil leaks

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

BobS:
 Check the valve cover seals. Clean the front of the engine really well and
then watch it. I had oil dripping for a good while after I replaced the cam
seal. I think it gets in all the crevices and keeps draining down?

The oil pan seals are: E9DZ-6722-A and E9DZ-6723-A about $12 each from Ford.
These are just the rubber end pieces. Use silicone sealer for the sides of
the pan. If you want Ford sealer then part #CXC-111A. Also aftermarket
Fel-Pro #OS-30636-R. Don't know the price on these.
