Working on Father's 1996 Ford Windstar. He has some oil in the anti-freeze, not alot, no major scum build-up. Oil psi cold is 50 before the coolant heats up too 16 psi. Gaskets probably blown! He has a rear heater.
Is it a lost cause to try repair this $500 mini-van?
Would stop-leak even work in the radiator?
Van runs fine, 112k miles, would you just drive into the ground?
Ford had a recall for rear axles breaking but not for a 1996.
I replaced anti-freeze, and most likely ever year until he get rid of it!
Main reason to keep it...A/C works great, front & rear. Summer almost here. Plus no funds for another van.
