CommandPresence Over the Hill Registered: 08/01/08 Posts: 1237 Loc: Granite State	Just when I thought I was done checking it over, I smelled coolant....remove the engine cover and bam! 1in crack is seeping coolant! How long was the recall, and is it still in effect? _________________________ 2003 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.

Check out the writeup in the BOK... ...and knock it out yourself. Really not a bad job at all. Inconvenient that it happened?...yes, but not an extremely difficult fix. Best of luck. _________________________

CommandPresence Over the Hill Registered: 08/01/08 Posts: 1237 Loc: Granite State	Well it's fixed for right now, it was a tiny crack, hit it with some super strong high heat epoxy, no leaks yet. That's whats gonna be there until my new one rolls up to the door. _________________________ 2003 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
