One problem related to engine oil leaking has been reported for the 1997 Lincoln Town Car. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The oil pan rusted through and caused all the oil to leak out onto the ground. The cruse control computer keeps causing the car to take off or not even work at all when u set it, when the car takes off after setting it the gas peddle goes all the way to the floor and it will not deactivate unless you shut the car off while driving.
