89 Ford Eddie Bower Bronco 5.8 L Leaking oil...seems at back of engine. Someone suggested it is bad engine seals. If so... what is the process to repair? Does the engine have to be pulled? (Oil filter is not leaking) 170,000 miles...engine still strong...doesn't smoke. Thanks,
Cal of Modesto, CA.

could possibly be valve covers, or timing cover. theres really a couple things it could be. COuld you be a little more descriptive.

If it is at the rear of the engine then it probably either a rear main seal or the oil pan.
