The old '84 ford f250 I had to haul stuff with around here was kind of like that for a couple of years . It was not a regular driver , more like once every 2 or 3 months it would get drove to town for a load of rock or something . Always had fresh oil in it . When it was parked , the housing were the filter attached would leak . Yet when driving or even just starting it up , it would stop leaking . Finally said poop on it and found a used mount on ebay , that with shipping was like $12 . New was like 3 times that , ( ??? Been years ago so kind of foggy on that one ??? ) . :confused3:
Every time I would need to use it , I would add 2 to 3 quarts to get it up on the stick a bit and head off for the day . Had a pan under it at first , then tried putting one of those drain jugs under it so the oil would be inside a container to reuse , but even some what sheltered under the truck , dirt , leaves , rain would contaminate , thus could not reuse . Basically it was a farm truck and I did not have the time to deal with it . Course once I did finally fix it , I ended up selling it just a few months later and bought a dump trailer to make life easier .:thumbsup:
