Leaking Oil

[BL0WN331]

Just wondering if anybody on here, has replaced the passenger side head gasket. Because of the Ford bulliten, about the head gasket leak. Is there an easier fix to this, other than replacing the head gasket? lmk

thanks

I have an small oil leak at the back of my passenger side head. I need more info on this. I've got about 2K miles and 3 months left on my warrenty.

There is a bulliten by Ford that states a flaw in the Passenger side head gasket. They make a new and improved head gasket, but as small as it is, I want to try something different. There is now recall, I have checked by my vin number. Just wondering if any kind of stop leak or anything like that would help out in this ordeal. I don't believe in that stuff, but just wondering if anybody has ever used it for this matter. Ford told me it would cost over $1600 to change.

So,...you're saying that Ford will fix it for free? If that's the case, DO NOT put that stop leak crap in your engine.

No, it is a Bulliten not a recall. I take it you skipped over the part of $1600.
