DBEDGE23 Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 Thanks. I tightened the oil pan bolts a little and that did wonders for blow by/ oil seeping out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doorpro Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 UPDATE! I finally found a great Ford Dealership not far from home "Ford of Long Beach" who not only told me the whole story of the horribly installed oil pans on 2015 - 2017 Ford Edge Sport with the 2.7L Ecoboost motor and how Ford had tried for years to fix the problem. They had gone through many changes of the oil pan but still used RTV to seal it to the motor which never worked and of course this is a one time use oil pan and I had read of owners on their third and fourth pan change at over $1100 each time. Anyway, they now have a fix in a new pan and gasket which not only did they sell me but gave me the discounted cost so I paid $300 for both parts and not $440 which made me very happy. The part numbers should anyone be interested in fixing this annoying problem are... Oil Pan. FT4Z6675-D Gasket. FL3Z6710-B I hope that this helps. I'm now off to the Auto shop to get the work done and get my wife off my back. If you're in Southern California, Ford of Long Beach is the best. Thanks to all, Regards, Doug.

DBEDGE23 Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Thanks Haz and excuse the slow reply. Went under and I tightened all the bolts. They were just slightly loose. No leaks anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) If we replaced oil pan with part number FT4Z6675D but neglected to do valve covers as referenced in the TSB could that cause the car to start smoking intermittently? My parents have a 2017 Continental with the 2.7 turbo. It has seen meticulous maintenance from them with no issues other than the terrible oil pan leak. In December my husband replaced the oil pan with an aluminum pan purchased on eBay and the OEM gasket. It's an aluminum pan part number FT4Z6675D. A week later they drove 1500 miles to Texas. On the trip my elderly dad thought the engine sounded noisy. He stopped and checked the oil and it wasn’t showing on the stick. He added oil and said it quieted down. He then began checking it and saying it was reading low about every time they fueled up so he was adding more oil. We went to visit them and my husband replaced the PCV valve, looked for leaks, put ats205 in it. Since returning home the car developed intermittent smoking issue. Husband then replaced left side turbo since it seemed to smoke more on that side. Smoke cleared up for about 3 weeks. Car then started smoking again. Another shop checked and says oil (my dad had added again) when car is first started oil reads low and then after an hour reads over full. Their hypothesis is worn valve guides or heads. Car runs great, sometimes smokes, sometimes doesn’t. Brian is wondering if this pan could be causing drain back issues. (Missing or covered passageways?) He did NOT replace valve covers as is referenced in the TSB posted earlier in this thread by @Haz. Could that be contributing? Hoping to get some insight. Have you run into anything like this? We are happy to pay you for consult. Your content has been hugely helpful to him in the past. Thanks for time!

garycrist Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago Do you have a catch can on your engine? (aftermarket part) Also it takes a little time for the oil level to stabilize for an accurate oil level reading. I have seen "junk" like extra sealant, clog the oil return path and cause the PCV to SUCK oil! (Dodge 2.2L 4cyl. the smoke cleared mosquitos for miles.) BTW the silicone gobs came from it's an over use on the oil pan and valve cover gaskets. Start with something like a https://www.jlosc.com/ then go from there. Check the level in the catch can after each smoke event, to determine where to go from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the replacement is aftermarket and you have to know exactly which it is. If it was designed similarly to 2018-2020 model years, then yes, the valve covers should have been replaced. Ford did have the below warning (see the TSB in this post😞 CAUTION: Do not use the oil pan with press-in-place gasket on 2015-2017 model year vehicles as this oil pan is not equipped with a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) check valve. Installation of this oil pan on a 2015-2017 model year vehicle will result in oil consumption which may result in engine damage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
