scottyschafer Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hello, It looks like i have a pretty healthy leak on the driver rear corner of the oil pan on my 2013 edge 2.0 ecoboost where is meets the engine block. I have not been able to find any information on changing the gasket on this engine. Generally oil pans are pretty straight-forward however i see this one seems to have bolts which go sideways into the transmission housing. Has anyone changed one of these and is there a specific tightening procedure do deal with the bolts going up into the engine and sideways into the transmission housing? Also what gasket did you use and did you run into anything unexpected? Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Oil pans are not fun on modern fords. Are you sure it is not a turbo pipe that is leaking? They are notorious for cracking at the clamps or even coming loose. The blowby contained in the piping then leaks onto the engine, making it SEEM like an engine leak.

scottyschafer Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks for the suggestion im fairly certain its the oil pan as I can see it bubble out between the block and pan where they meet the tranmission :( Does not look like it will be fun as the ac compressor partially mounts to the pan as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luisito Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago I want to replace the oil pan gasket as well. But when I go to the ford parts online, only the pan seems to be able and not only the gasket. Autozone only offers a silicon for the gasket. My question is, do we have to replace the entire pan or by adding silicon as a gasket would work same as a gasket? Does the pan for a 2013 ford edge ecoobost 2.0L actually uses a gasket or not? Reading a comment above, where is the turbo pipe to check for leaking just to make sure the leak I have is not coming from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Edge Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Do you NEED an oil pan gasket? Not necessarily Can you use a quality silicon gasket sealer alone without an oil pan gasket? Yes. Doesn't look like Ford has an oil pan gasket for your vehicle. The turbo pipe is connected to the turbo. You just follow it to see where it goes.

Tim W. AZ Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Have you checked the tightness of the bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
