    Weird random burning smell, small leak?

    That doesn't look too bad really. Do you notice a oil stain in your driveway where you park it? If you want to freshen up the seals you can get a bottle of that ATP-205 and pour it in the crankcase. It works very well to rejuvenate oil seals and gaskets, without harming the rest of the motor...

    Oil leak?

    Yeah looks like it's just coming from the oil filter and running back. Clean the area off with some degreaser or carb cleaner spray and make sure your oil filter is snug and recheck it in a week or so to see if you can isolate the cause of the leak. Are you using a Motorcraft 820 filter ? .

    2003 5.4 no start, PCM issue?

    Is the security LED flashing high speed when you try to start it ? That would indicate a PATs problem. Like it doesn't recognize the key. Pop the hood and move the PCM harness around and look for a loose wire in the harness, especially the red one that powers the PCM. Why did you hotwire the...

    Short Circuit?

    The only thing directly behind the glovebox that might smoke is the AC blower and it's speed resistor or that harness plug to the resistor. But I don't know how your "aftermarket equipment" is wired in. Does your AC blower still function normally ? All speeds available ? .

    Converting Lighting to LEDs

    You can replace your stock hazard flasher relay for an LED flasher relay to eliminate the hyperflash. The LED relay will work with either incandescent or LED bulbs. For the headlights I would recommend an HID bulb in the 4300 temperature range, rather than an LED bulb. The beam pattern from LEDs...

    Broken spark plug !

    You can try it for a short while and let us know. Spray some Liquid Wrench penetrating oil into the sparkplug well to try and free it up too. I haven't really heard of anybody trying this method. But hell, it could work. .

You might do a quick check and access the tubing at...
