You might have to make your own. I recall reading about this problem once or twice before so you might want to hit up the search function.

O-ring for what? The oil cooler-to-block surface?

 

[bulldogs3d]

o ring were the oil fillter scews onto the motor

 

[SASHO91]

those are on the oil filter.....

 

[bulldogs3d]

i guess there is one on the motor 2 i brought my car to ford 2 change my tranny pan seal and had them check the oil leak out also they told me it was this o-ring and they cannot get it i'll have to look at it a little better when i pick it up tomarrow but it will be very funny if it's the seal on the oilfilter because these are the well trained "ford mechanics" lol

 

[SASHO91]

more than likely its the oil filter seal....

allthough it may in fact be the oil cooler-block seal....

 

[bulldogs3d]

is that were the that seal is located because all they could tell me is it's the o-ring they have a part number but it's on my invoice i will pick up tommarrow

 

[bulldogs3d]

just so i don't have to ask later if it is the oil cooler-block seal is that avail anywere?

I have had the same problem, infact Ford failed my car for state inspection because the oil was hitting the exhaust. I searched for the replacement o-ring to no avail. I then took the oil filter housing(oil cooler) off got the old o-ring and went to several stores till I found one that would fit. IIRC I got my o-ring at the local hardware store in the plumbing section. Took me a bit to find but not impossible.

There is also a hidden captive o-ring inside the oil cooler. It seals around the hollow bolt that holds the cooler to the block. Also hard to find. Like said above, take the cooler to any hardware store and get a round 0-ring that's close. The original is a flat gasket, I believe. You might be able to use a flat gasket from an oil filter also.

The first listed is the smaller o ring.
The second is the larger o ring. This is the one you need.
