Re: 58 Mercury Monterry oil or transmission leak

[Anonymous]

Thank you.  It’s at a mechanic shop now.  The car does not have power steering so we have eliminated that possibility for the leak.  The red oil is puddling up at the rear center of the intake manifold, in addition to some drips below, by the transmision pan area.  The mechanic is puzzled why red oil is puddling at ther rear center of the intake manifold, since that is up top, not below.  They are still researching … Any thoughts are welcome on why/what is causing red oil to leak/puddle at the rear center of the intake manifold.
