Been fighting oil leaks with our 2004 Eddie Bauer 5.4L 2WD (original owner, 218K miles) for some time. Engine burns oil and appears to have leaks on oil pan and valve covers. Oil pan gasket was previously replaced but still has a leak. Engine has started to periodically run rough in the last 6 months. Maybe needs a new fuel filter? I am concerned about the bearings burning up. Had this happen in our ’06 4.6L F150 and had to rebuild the motor. Not a fan of synthetic oil for this reason. I did an oil change on the Expedition yesterday and tried conventional motor oil in instead of synthetic oil and the oil leak at the pan is much worse now only while the engine is running. Appreciate and comments/suggestions.
