really deceptive!: mechmike, this one is for you!

We just did an install for this van and the new owner (bought off a dirt lot yesterday) said it was a "clean, used van that didn't leak" so that was why he bought it. Well, one look underneath with the creeper nearly had me in hysterics: yes, that is a cake pan under the rear main seal. The new owner was not nearly as happy with his purchase after we showed him why it "didn't leak" as much as pooled the oil until you got up to speed and "self drained".

It is a Ford - what can I say?
Funny though! Thanks for posting it.
May I link to that image from another site? I know some folks that would be amused...
