Was inspecting the underside of my 2010 Taurus sho. The lh turbo (front turbo) seems to be covered in oil. Talking with my mechanic this can create a fire hazard. The flash point of 5w-30 is 435^c. During normal engine operation exhaust temperature can get to and exceed 700^c. The exhaust is only a few inches from where the oil return line goes back into the reservoir. There was a TSB for the issues but some owners say that did not resolve the issue. How can owners be expected to pay for installing an updated design when its not their fault? especially when it comes to somthing that could cause a fire? I have been doing some research and other people have experienced issues with the gasket on the oil return line. There have also been reports of fires with these cars that were most likely caused by an oil leak. There are no recalls currently issued for the turbos on this car. I feel that this issue is very serious and should be recalled because of the change of fire. There was a lawsuit filed against Ford for defects with the eco boost motors but nothing ever came of it back in 2013. . Read more...

I have a 1996 Taurus gl. The car leaks oil, and then it leaked transmission fluid from the pan. The main problem with this car is the oil leak. I spent 500 to get it fixed and the darn thing stopped leaking and now it leaks again. I have a friend that has a 1997 and her car leaks also. Why did Ford make a product that leaks like a siv.

I noticed that the vehicle was leaking oil slowly but fairly constantly, I then proceeded to take the vehicle to a mechanic. The mechanic stated that the oil pan gasket was defective and that he suggest that I talk to Ford about the problem because he said that this should not happen to a vehicle with this amount of miles on it. I then took the vehicle to another mechanic for a second opinion and he said the same thing. Attempts to speak to Ford about the problem have only resulted in your warranty has expired and we will not cover this. This seems to be a defective part and I also saw through your website that there was at least one other complaint that seemed to fit this description. Thank you in advance for any assistance that you may be able to offer.
