| Description of the problem | Ipulled into my drive way and my car died out no over heating no warning light no anything. I looked under my hood to check everything and noticed my coolant was gone i then poured more into it realizing that it was all going out of my car i but not onto the ground. I called an mechanic who told me my coolant leaked into my oil my water pump failed. It failed internal to the timing chain cover and dumped a large amount of coolant into the crankcase which then contaminated the engine oil and over filled the oil pan. Im glad that i was home and not driving down the street because this could have caused a major accident. On further research i have found this has occurred many times. The engine in question is the cyclone engine and is fords latest v6 family of gasoline engines introduced in 2006, and is known as the duratec 35 which displaces 3. 5 l, the duratec 37 which displaces 3. 7l and the ecoboost 35 which is atwin turbo charged variant of the duratec 35, these engines are installed in the following vehicles, 2007 |
