Oil Leak At The Oil Pump On
Ford 1981 Escort, 1982 EXP,
Lincoln-Mercury 1981 Lynx & 1982 LN7 (1.6L) Engines
An engine oil leak at the oil pump on some 1981-82 Ford Escort & EXP and Lincoln Mercury Lynx & LN7 (1.6L engines) may be serviced by removing the external oil gallery pipe plug on the pump as shown below and applying Loctite(R) Lock N' Seal(R) or equivalent to the plug threads. Reinstall the plug and torque to 6-8 ft. lbs (8-12 N·m).
Ford Motor Company recommends the oil pump must be replaced if the gallery plug is found cross threaded, or if the outer surface of the gallery is cracked at the plug opening.
