Smells problem
1994 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

My aunt who is 79 years old has 1994 ford explorer that has smoke around the back of the motor after it gets hot. I think it is oil leaking onto the exhaust, but I can't find the source. Any thoughts? THANKS!!!!

Chances are either a valve cover gasket or intake gasket is leaking. Also, check under the truck to make sure the trans pan isn't leaking onto the exhaust.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
